go around to a few panel shops in your area and get some quotes.

Also remember that if the colour is not 100% you shouldn't accept it.

I'd estimate a ball park figure of around $300.

Where abouts are you located, or is location of no concern ??

I know a good operator in the Sunshine area...

Can't comment on cost of what you need done though, you'd have to deal directly with him and go from there...

No worries vectra_!

I remember doing colour coding for my sister's pre-facelift Corsa C. That would have included the grille, the bits on the front and rear bars, the side protection moulding, and the wing mirrors. I think I paid about $500-550 for all that, but that was a few years ago, and they already had the right colour with them because the car was being repaired from a minor bingle at the same time, so $350 for a lip is not too bad IMHO.

Having said that, I'd strongly recommend you ask around a few more shops for more quotes. And have a look at some of their finished products with some other people's plastic/rubber bits, before you decide to go with them!

All the best with it!
