Bodywork cost   
Anyone got TTS, Audatex or similar and care to give me a rough idea on what
painting both front doors on a MK2 golf is liable to set me back? Flat
white.

Even better if you can recommend a decent bodyshop in the east mids / south
yorks.

If you just want flat white, then a fiver for a brush and a litre from 
Wickes.

If you want gloss, that's when it gets pricy.

You mean flat? Or plain white?

You'd need to say what the condition is. And is this something like a
colour change on secondhand doors?

Flat or plain, as opposed to metallic.

Needs stripping, repainting and possibly a tad of filling / rust work. Doors
are fitted to a second hand car, but aren't second hand as such ;).

*Solid* colour, then? ;-)

Then it's impossible to say. If they're damaged and rusty, best to get
some decent secondhand ones.
