OP: Price is elastic because it depends on what you mean by a "front end respray".
If you mean PU, lower splitter and bonnet, unless someone has seen it, price cant be quoted because in many cases a bonnet respray may require a blend into the top of the wings. Porsche-approved will be inclined to do a back-to-metal respray if there are deep chips rather than fill 'em in.
But if it is in this sort of scope, you'd be lucky to see change out of £2k with bonnet back-to-metal and blend into wings - but they'd need to see it.
Once a blend starts, it can 'creep' to other parts of the same panel and to adjoining panels.
Finally, one thing I've observed with body shops is that there us always someone who'll do it cheaper and vice-versa someone who'll be dearer.
The challenge is deciding which is the better value-for-money.

What started out as a front end respray for stone chips can easily expand into a glass out £10k respray within a two minute estimator's conversation or recommendation.
