Too far away I'd guess but mine was done at AGM bodyworks in Cornwall. Really very happy with it. Great communication and discussion prior to the work being done and the after sales has been top class.

Hinckley BodyWRX* - just around the corner (literally) from RCM.

StreetView - Hinckley BodyWRX

An acquaintence had a refresh on his WR Blue UK STi Blob and his gold Turinis -- the results were amazing.


* RS_Matt should love the place, as it's got WRX in its name.

If only there was a thread with more information about said business, it would be extremely beneficial for user like yourself who are looking for paintwork.

Should have bought a WRX then you wouldn't be bothered about the paint as they are **** anyway, STI's are money pits.

well as ive done a search without any success maybe this thread will help people like myself looking for paint work.

as ive said i know to avoid c and k motors of leominster due to the very poor job they did on dave w's paintwork along with they spoiler the fitted with glue that came off at speed which was very dangerous.

but ive had some very good suggestions here which i will pursue, so thanks for the help

thanks busta, yes ive heard he is not very trustworthy after seeing dave w's car.
very poor finish with runs everywhere but i think ryan just claimed to have painted it when he just palmed the job off to another employee.

as i said i wont be using them just after some recommendations of reputable painters.

,you need respray after when You failed with arch rolling for xxr clearance, that would explain why You blame xxr so much
You should use correct tools not hammer
