Boot spoiler

[A6lns]

Hi everyone just brought a boot spoiler for my C250 sport on eBay so I've got to get it painted and fitted had a few quotes £160 and £150 is that about right these days

Seems very expensive! Fitting is just peeling back some double sided tape and applying it. I would expect someone to paint it for £50 £100 max!

Got my genuine MB boot spoiler painted for £80.00 by a top local bodyshop and fitted it myself, was very easy to fit if you lay out masking tape marking points when you 'dry fit' it.

So seems expensive.

Oh if only you'd bought a Taiwanese one, you'd have paid £60, it would be ready painted and ready to fit.

Looks like half a toilet seat in that picture.

Mine was one of the Taiwanese Ebay spoilers £57 painted, with a Fed Ex bill to take it to £80. Paint match was perfect as was the fit.

That's what I did, a bit more expensive than £60.00 though.

MB just quoted me £360 to respray a single W204 bonnet and I thought that was cheap might get a second quote elsewhere if that quote to spray a spoiler is deemed expensive

 

[A6lns]

Clearly a reference to a boomerang.
