£80 would be an hours labour mate. You could look for a local indy if you don't want to do it yourself - my indy charges £40/hr

Just fitted these recently. Got them off e bay. £30 odd for two I think. If you can avoid it, don't remove rivet that holds top of the bracing bracket to the underneath of boot floor, unless you have a pop rivet gun large enough to pop rivets supplied with new kit. Also where new plate fits to wing, I used small bolts instead of rivets for the same reason. Mud flaps are a bugger to remove from rusted brackets without damaging them!!!

Sorry to hear that. If you feel up to the job of fixing bits of your Disco yourself, then why not carry on I say.
