So after much to`n and for`n.....and after the body shop haveing my Cooper for close to a month its back and looks fantastic but..... quality cost lots ! In the end, a few bubbles under the scuttle turned into a new scuttle panel, new rubbers all round and new rear beaver panel....Now its perfect but a $700 Quote became $1500 still.... after reading a few other peoples expieriences am well happy ! Now....pix to follow if i can only work it out ;-)

It's a good feeling getting your car back and knowing it's in better condition :D .

I just got my cooper s back from having a full respray. Quotes ranged from $17,000 to $6000. I think you got off lightly for $1500 I'd be well happy.
