Compare MINI car respray quotes from specialist garages

href="/services/mini">MINI has been owned by German car-making giant BMW since 2000, but it was already making waves in the automotive world many years before. In 1961, the iconic Morris Minor became the first British car to have sold more than one million units. Then, in 2014, the original Mini was named Britain's favourite car of all time an astounding 55 years after its launch, beating the Jaguar E-Type and even the McLaren F1 supercar.

Despite the confidence of Aurelio Lampredi - Fiat's chief designer - that the Mini would never be a true rival because it was "so damned ugly", the enduring popularity of the model and its manufacturer suggest otherwise.

There are over 460 MINI clubs in the UK. This guide discusses how much you can expect to pay to service your MINI.

Booking a vehicle respray is an excellent way to restore your car's appearance and eliminate unsightly scratches. A car respray can be messy, so using a workshop with a specifically designated respray area is essential for ensuring quality.

First, the mechanic will clean the car before either sanding or entirely stripping the existing paint. All windows, tyres and trimmings will then be covered so they don't get paint on them. You could do this at home, but it may become more expensive, and the outcome will likely be poor unless you're a professional. Before deciding whether to do it yourself, you should look for the best car full body respray quote online.

It's also possible to get one or two panels resprayed instead of the whole car. For example, you could book a car bumper respray or a car bonnet respray, which will cost less money.
