Errrrr.... Where did you get that quote?.... Definitely interested, due to price LOL

Have you got anything sprayed there?

EDIT: Does that include paint and everything? Or only just labour?

I got 4 quotes in Brisbane to spray my front lip... the cheapest was $390 from some random dude working from a home looking shop, the average was $500 and a well known shop @ moss street wanted $610...

Did it myself in a few hours for $100 with autobarn products (can+clear+sandpaper+primer+soft sanding block+bolts) bought everything literally for that price

$390?.....

I woulda thought most prices for a lip is around $150-250. I got mine sprayed for $200.

If it's $390 or 610, do they blend the lip in with some of the front bar? Or they just charging you so much because of fitting it?

my vented bonnet was $350 to spray black from gel coat...

my front bar was $220 to spray in two colours, black and silver...

get it done by a professional, less headaches and good results, and if they stuff it up they just have to do it again...

lol I budgeted for $200 tops to get it done haha.

The $610 one said they was going to blend it into the bar.

They all said 'we need to take off the bumper' and all quoted that into the price. I have no idea why they thought taking it off would of saved time... I didn't remove mine and it was cake installing it.

I honestly thought $200 was a good budget so you can imagine the facial expressions when I heard their prices

Yeh when I got my GTR wing painted, the cheapest guy I found was an old bloke working for himself, $200. All the bigger workshops wanted $500+.

They'll charge you an arm and a leg if they can. That's why I learned to use an air gun and now spray everything myself. Resprayed my bonnet, fenders, front bar and rear bar for $120 :D

Some of us only want average results and cheap prices :P i.e for drift cars etc

Is your car a factory color?

I wouldnt really recommend painting it yourself, even with a 100% paint match you will never get the proper gloss or finish like the factory paint. If you can do the prep work your self it should only cost around $200-300 to get them done by a shop.

I painted my front bar on my hr31 and it came up good but no where near as good as a pro job, and i've painted cars before so I know the prep work was spot on.

If a shop is trying to charge you more then $400 they obviously cbf doing the job, its f**k all work to paint 2 side skirts.

I got my skirts and pods painted at Donnelons in Kew, they did an awesome job and was a very good price.

      Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far

      The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????

      Paint is only structural when applied to the outside of Chinese and Indian cars. Otherwise it should never be present between mechanical joints that were intended to be metal to metal. Pain slips, slides, cracks, compresses, and add thickness that wasn't intended to be there. It comes firmly under the category of "just no".
