Default Hello! and Bodywork question

Hi Everybody!

Been lurking for a while now so it's about time I said .

Picked up my MY02 Black / Red S at the start of December - needless to say it is a fantastic car, VTEC is a blast and I'm looking forward to some more favorable weather to have some proper top down fun . I was lucky to get some nice extras with the car - namely a hardtop, HKS Hiper, re-meshed front grill and some spangly painted calipers (adds 10BHP across the rev range so I'm told )

Unfortunately it's not all roses...I made the rather schoolboy error of scraping the rear wing when getting into the garage last week ....can anybody recommend a good bodyshop in the South Herts area? (I'm in Bishop's Stortford) S.E.ISONS have quoted me

AquilaEagle had some work done at that place IIRC. He can vouch for workmanship and probably let you know how it compares to the work he had done.

I know my dealer quoted a significant amount to get my bonnet resprayed (for a couple of stone chips) so I can see why it might be an expensive error...

Welcome to the board.

The quote doesn't sound that bad to me. It's going to take a fair bit of tidying and they'll need to put quite a lot of paint on to blend the repair.

I'd be inclined to go with recommendation before cost. A bad repair will bug you forever.

Thet are a good company and i recommended them to AE.
I have always used them and they are very good especialy blending in colours.
I know that Leggyblonde and Syclark have also used them.
