Hi Guys

Wondering if anybody could recommend where I could get my mini restored.

Its needs a total respray and a few dents to be beaten out.

Got a quote of 2500 euro but want to compare it against other prices.

Any help is appreciated.

Located In Tallaght Dublin

The biggest dent is in the door, which I am gonna replace with a new door skin.

The rest of the dents are not too deep but require a bit of work to straighten them out.

Ideally I am looking for someone to remove the dents and paint the car. I am in the process of sourcing parts to bring the car back to its original state.

Any help is appreciated.

All I can tell you is that you get what you pay for, if money is limited, then do as much of the prep work, dismanteling and rubbing down as you can yourself, theless he has to do the less you have to pay for.
