Hi guys, looking for some opinions.
I've managed to scratch both the doors on the dcv so I've been getting some quotes on getting it repaired. I want it done properly so just a 'touch up' is out of the question. Gonna be looking at both sides being resprayed with blending etc so it doesn't look shit.
As you can imagine, it's not a cheap do. Been quoted around £800 at a place near me, up to £1500 at a place where my mate works in Wigan. So a few mates have said, if you're getting the sides done you may as well get a full colour change. I'd been thinking of this as well, however I doubt I'd keep it white if I opted for a full respray. So this begs the question, does having the car resprayed a none-OEM colour loose the cars value, increase it or keep it the same? Obviously some people are gonna want an OEM fresh one, which mine was/is, but painting the sides is gonna ruin that anyway, but I can imagine some colours, like Yellow etc would be in demand.
Also what do you think of wraps? Theres a place local to me, APM customs that are pretty shit hot at it.
Pics of the damage for reference..
Doesn't look that bad from the pics, its not that bad in reality tbh but I know its there and its annoying.
Id be interested to hear your thoughts. I don't plan on selling it but things happen..
