Default Suggestions/recommendations for arch repair in South East?

Hi guys, our S2000 has the dreaded arch rust. Passenger side is mint, but drivers side is starting to suffer so would like to get it sorted this summer.

I have a friend who has a bodyshop but I would rather not ask him at this stage, as if there is anything I am not happy with it can become difficult between mates, and I can be a fussy bugger sometimes! That and I am banking all of my favours for when we come to respray my 944T!

So - does anyone have any recommendations in the south east that they have used for S2000 arch repairs? I'm on the Suffolk/Essex border.

I'd rather go to someone that has repaired these before, so knows what to expect, rather than someone who will just grind it back and fill without considering cutting & welding (if necessary).

Any suggestions (pictures even ) would be much appreciated. Thanks

Go for Kraftwork, they are a few mins from Chelmsford.

Davide is a very knowledgable, pleasant chap that has done this sort of work for me and a few of my friends, to a very high standard and after getting quotes from others; very affordably too.

If it's not too far, give him a ring and pop down for a quote.

Thanks Tango - I will give them a call.

Would you mind telling me roughly what you were quoted for this repair? Feel free to PM me if you'd rather.

I just saw this post and have the dreaded rust issue on the passenger side of my S2000. I'm in the East Midlands, but I'd travel for the right specialist to put the car right - I'm far from happy with the bodywork company the local Honda dealer uses (I've had my S2000 crashed into twice in 10 years). I'd be interested to hear roughly what people have paid or been quoted for the job.
