Default Coventry Bodyshop

I know this isn't an event (though anyone who wants to come and watch is welcome to! ) but I am looking for a competant and above all CHEAP bodyshop in or near Coventry to do my bonnet, both rear quarter panels, sideskirts, rear door and replace and paint a front bumper. Also, a wing needs a bit of attention (cos it's got a dent in it that needs pushing out!).

Any ideas?

Steve

I know a good place in Kenilworth if that's any use to you?

I paid £300 to have both bumpers re-sprayed, door edge re-touched, crease taken out of wind and re-sprayed.

Dont go to any of the guys under the Arches !

They did some work on mine and it was a bag of sh1te. Overspray, wrong colour, poor finish etc etc etc

Had it redone in Leicester, took ages but did a great job.

Cheers

Neal

'The Garage' in Ladbroke just outside Southam is very good and cheap - speak to Steve Birch.

my mate used them for a touch up on his pug, it was reconmended to him by the pug garage in holbrooks... to be honest, the job wasnt that great. though from the looks of that demo 206 thing there, they actually get a really good job when they are bothered...

Thanks guys: Plenty of leads to follow up on.

As mentioned, I'm looking for sensible quality work at a sensible price, rather than a show finish, as the car just ain't that pretty in the first place (it's a legacy).

But several phone calls to make next month, I can see

Anyone else got any good suggestions?

And So handy for APi Engines / APi Impreza just a further 2 miles up the road, where you can get all your other Subaru work done.
