Rust repairs - looking for recommendations
Hello,
I'm looking for some recommendations of someone who'll do a decent job with rust repairs on my S2000.
I've had the car for 11 years and it's about time I brought the bodywork back up to scratch as it really lets the car down. It's spent a lot of time parked on a main road, so it's had all the elements thrown at it and sadly the sill on the passenger side, near the rear arch has seen better days and will need some welding and replacement metal. It's also been crashed into previously, a relatively light impact but needed a respray on the drivers side rear quarter, but after a few years this paint is now flat and a different colour to the rest of the car - even more noticeable when the hardtop is fitted!
I'm in Nottinghamshire, but am willing to travel within reason to someone who'll do a decent job.
Hope someone can help, thanks for reading.

Roberts Motor Bodies in Walkley (sheffield). I've been looking to get a rear arch and respray sorted. The cars they have in and quality of work look amazing.
Saying that mine hasn't been in yet so no first hand experience.

You could try these people http://www.caraccidentrepairsderby.co.uk/
they are based in Derby (are Honda approved) and the only people I would trust in the event of needing bodywork, they did some work on my wifes civic and it was perfect.

Thanks so much for the suggestions. I'll check a couple of them out for some quotes.
The one in Bicester is probably a little far, it'd take me a good 3 and a half hours on the train to get home from there.
