Sheefa Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Hi all, Please see below post about my car being keyed with video. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=78975 Can anyone point me in the direction of a good yet reasonably priced bodyshop anywhere in the west mids area? Really really need your help. Thanks Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I have used W.M.A.R.C before. Paintwork was good. They could have straightened out the edge of my boot better though, and left the new bootlock in-line properly instead of pushed in a bit. Painting was OK though. That's West Midlands Accident Repair Centre, in Dudley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I use a bodyshop in Whitchurch, they have just finished an absolutely superb job on my Skyline that I stuffed into the tyre wall at Oulton. They painted a used front wing, a used door and fitted and painted a new rear 1/4 panel. Also painted front and rear bumpers and did minor repair to front bumper. Side and rear glass out, small screen pillar repair (dent from door mirror). 1600 quid. I supplied all the panels, so that's paint and labour only...They aren't cheap, but I am adamant you get exactly what you pay for with bodywork. They do 90% of Alan Minshaws' (ex Demon Tweaks boss) exotic race car collection, so they are very good indeed, he's not daft enough to leave million of quids worth of historic racecars with numpties.

LeeT Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Knightracer next to Turbofit are supposed to be OK and very good prices too. Alos they are based in the midlands which is not too far from you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted August 17, 2006 Author Share Posted August 17, 2006 Thanks all. Chris, how much do you think it'll be for the above then? As you know, i've spent a bit getting my car done with you (all very good work I hope!) and am looking to get this done professionally but not at a high expense. Best of both worlds please!

Guest mk47 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Sheefa theres a place down here ive used in the past their called Morton Motors they are really really good insurance authorised repairers aswell, prices are very competitive also.. They repaired a crunched up wing and bumper back to brand spanking new and resprayed it and completely blended in with the rest of the car too. can vouch for their work, down in leicester that is. 01162838796 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Have a look at my Skyline when you pick the MKIV up, and if you are intereasted they are open until 12.00 on Saturday and only 10 mnutes from me. They can give you a quote. It used to look like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sounds a happy bunny though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris, what is the name of this bodyshop? I need a few quotes for some minor damage an old bat caused to my Supe. TIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 AMW on 01948 664065 ask for Andrew or Phil, mention me and the Skyline, they should remember it, they had it long enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted August 24, 2006 Author Share Posted August 24, 2006 Thanks Chris. I've just taken mine to a local bodyshop called PL CARBODIES who do loads of professional insurance work. They had loads or Porsches and Ferraris in there plus the new F430 Spider- very nice. It'll cost no doubt (with a nice discount as a friend of a friend) but apparently when they're done mopping the whole car it looks like a full respray! Can't wait. Will post pics when done!
