I need to know how much money to save for the mods on the body work on my car, so here are some things I need to know a rough price for:

* flush tailgate with wiper taken off
* recess cut into rear bumper for numberplate light with old numberplate light taken off and smoothed over
* 2 new doorskins painted and fitted (3 door)
* both doors de-locked and door handles painted
* rolled arches (front and rear)
* wing ariel removed and smoothed over

all depends on who is doing it for you but, i know from personal experience that NO bodyshops like fitting nova door skins as they are a bitch to do.
you can make it a lot cheaper by doing a lot of the stuff yourself such as remove your own rear wiper and aerial etc.

they will paint the handles at the same doors and should de lock them before fitting the new skins!

like lurk says - it all depends where u go. Most you can do yerself - really easy - then once done just geta body shop to give it a once over with the paint gun.

Following prices are based on my experience -

Tailgate not painted - ?150
Bumper - its flexi plastic so modding its a bugger - prob ?100
door skins - just replace the whole doors - ?25 each 2nd hand
delocking doors - ?5 if u do it yerself - ?50 for both is shop do it
arches front n rear if rolled/ground prob ?50 an arch
wing ariel removed & smoothed - prob ?50

Then you need to paint car - depending on state of body & paint type anything from ?200 to ?1500

I u want, I can give you pics/advice on the following -
fitting doors, rolling/grinding arches, filling ariel hole and relocating, delocking doors.
