99 peugeot 306 sedan BEAM?

I was only guessing what the costs would be in your country but can't be far off. There isn't much difference here between purchasing an exchange beam from some suppliers or doing it yourself. When you do it yourself though you would know all the parts that should be replaced have been replaced. As you found, getting someone else to do it doesnt guarantee a quality job n they may cut costs in any number of ways. You'll have to find out what cost of all parts is locally for you.

Back to your OP, most refurbed beams are supplied on an exchange basis. If you want to upgrade to a GTi/XSi/HDi disc beam then you couldn't go down the exchange route.
