New side skins and lowered floor

[bobt]

Hi peebs,

 

I would ask Arch but they are shut until the new year.

Could anybody give an indication on the cost to:

 

a) fit and spray two new side skins

b) fit driver and pass lowered floor

 

...and will I have to pull the engine before delivering so that they can move it around easily once the front suspension has been removed?

 

cheers

Don't think Arch do the spraying and the below is only indicative from what I remember, but as a rough guide:

 

- sideskins c£350 each IIRC

- lowered floor c£400 each IIRC

 

fitting included. Other people might have some more up to date prices than me though.

 

And yes you will need the engine out for the sideskins.

Thanks coyoteracer11

 

Given that I'm thinking of having the car sprayed a different colour ( only side skins, bonnet and nose cone (leaving the carbon visible for the nose band) everything else is carbon), is it more cost effective to have a new bonnet sprayed rather than prep and spray the original?

 

Thanks

I would be very surprised as new bonnets come unpainted at about £140, so unless the prep is more than that (which I can't imagine it would be) I'd keep the original if it's in good condition and have it done at the same time as the rest of the car.
