Default Body work estimate..

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/38790/p2270047.jpg"></center><p>Could someone give me a ballpark estimate of what I could expect to pay to get this fixed and have the front bumper repainted?

Thanks

Default Peanuts (more)...

If the shop is any good &amp; you're tryng not to spend much $$$, they should be able to contain the work to a 3-4" area - plastiweld the crack, "dust" the spot w/ color, &amp; "blow in" some clear, blending it into the foglight area &amp; across the bottom.

Once it's sanded &amp; buffed, only you'd know it was just fixed &amp; not replaced. You'll save huge. Good luck.

How much do you think to have the bumper painted?
