At almost £500 it's still a bloody expensive repair, but far more acceptable than the original p take £1700

I couldn't agree more Andy, but I suppose that is the professional rate   £303 was for labour!!

IIRC I paid £250 +vat to have my bonnet re-painted, and that included the existing (prefacelift) washer nozzle holes welded up.

Apart from the fact they estimated the work to do correctly, I can only say in fairness to them that Nationwide Crash Repair Centre carried out the work to the highest insurance company standards, and insisted with me that they could do nothing else when I tried to ensure they didn't price the job into "beyond economical repair" territory.  They also exhibited superb customer care. 8-) 8-)

But Andy .. you probably had it done by a small, efficient firm, possibly even a "one man" operation .. and you didn't get a brand new BMW to drive around in .....

These "Insurance" places have mases of staff and masses of overheads .. not all of which can be charged to the insurance company .. even they are not that stupid !!!

again Nige .. you are quite correct!     
They also did a very good job of various other bits of rust spots the previous year.

Looks a very good job, did they paint that black section in the rear door shut?

Looks a very good job, did they paint that black section in the rear door shut?

Yes, and it very neat indeed (ignore the splatter of mud that has shown up in the photo!( and I am tempted to get them to do the otherside before that causes me any problems.
