Someone (rather gently luckily) rear ended me not too long back. The impact didn't crack the rear bumper, but it did cause quite a few stress marks under the clear coat that broke the paint. Further, there are a couple of small dents in the curvature at the edges of the rear number plate section. I took the car to my local body shop for an estimate and they came back with £450 of labour (inc vat) and £160 of paint (inc vat). This is to do the following: - remove rear bumper, check if parking sensors can be better aligned - tidy them up (some of them have cracked paint on the sensor); - repair rear bumper (get rid of dents and mis-shapes I guess this means)... - respray rear bumper and blend as needed. Does £610 seems a bit steep for this work? If so, does anyone have a recommendation in Hampshire area (ideally nearer to Southampton / New Forest way). Cheers!

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Interesting for me as I need mine done too... A visiting auditor at work forgot to put the handbrake on his VW Transporter and it rolled in to the back on my car. I was quoted £766 by the local OPC's official bodyshop.
Got mine done last year for£300.00 No parking sensors though
Last time I had my front PU resprayed I paid £150 all in.
£150 for mine as well, although I removed and refitted it - fairly easy task.
