Question Repairing elise bodywork?

My mate's elise has been kicked by some ****** and its split the bodywork in the front end. It looks like its fibreglass and like it could be repaired somehow?

Anyone know anyone in the Edinburgh area that could carry out this sort of repair? He went to one bodyshop that seemed to scratch their head!

Don't know if they specialise in it but I've heard good reports about MRM behind Murrayfield.

They must have kicked it hard to do that much damage Have you tried asking over on the SELOC?

The clams on the Elise's are very easily cracked, I ve heard of parking bumps that have led to needing new front clams - they are not cheap either.

The bodywork can be repaired, although i dont know of any specalists in your area.

As mentioned, put a post on SELOC.

Kenny,

Best bunch of guys locally to ask is :

http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Scottish_Elises/

Lots of Elise owners on there who regularly attend the SN trackdays, as well as reading SN. N1TUT is one such member......

I know a few of them are on their 3rd or 4th Elises due to write-offs, so I think they have plenty of experience
