i reversed into a post and have put a dent in the rear bumper and creased it.
i live in the west midalnds.
I went to see showells @lye, but they were not very helpful and didnt recommend anyone.
so the question is does anyone know of a good paint/repair shop in the west midlands.. preferably south birmingham /bromsgrove area.

someone must have a favourite body shop surely.

Have been thinking the same this as I want to have the sills colour coded on mine.

Haven't had much success myself.

I know of Impact Body repairs (a client, but haven't had much to do with them. They are in Brum.

Good Luck

btt.

Try abbey coach craft in cradley heath. Dont own a subaru yet but they did a top notch job on my focus for cheap.

in the end i went to frank stones in hall green by the dog track....they do a lot of subaru work i discovered.Very professional and large workshop.
they were very helpful and sprayed the new bumper really well.I am very pleased with the job. I've posted this update to allow others who have a similar issue to know how i did it.
