I know I am being lazy, but does anyone know a good paint shop not too far from, or in Bristol? And has anyone got any idea what it may cost to have my bonnet resprayed if I prepare it myself? (aluminum has corroded in two spots)

Also, out of interest, how much does a complete respray of the whole car to the same colour cost roughly, including preparation? (red MY93)

Where in Plymouth? You will have to let me know if they do a good job.

They are called Youngs Car Body Repairs... Last week he had an Audi TT, 911 and a new Mini S and seemd to be pretty good. Was recommended on reputation so we will see. Will be picking it up at the weekend hopefully so will let you know. Will post pics if possible.

Sounds promising, I will make a note of their name in case it is overpriced nearer by.

i had the front of mine done at a garage in magor - just the other side of the bridge. I'm very happy with the job - pm me if you want a number

Only got it back today as they did more work for me. The work they have done i am immensly happy with. the car looks brand new, i couldnt have wished for any more, exceeded all my expectations... Sounds like i am trying to sell them but i didnt know anything about them until i handed my keys over and it has been a very stressful couple of weeks i can tell you...

happy for you to take a look at my car first but would defo recommend.

Cheers
Jim.

Excellent, and thanks for updating this thread with your feedback. When I am ready I will ring them for a quote, to at least compare others against. Got any pics of your car since the work has been done?

Regards,

Robin.
