Update:
Car went into bodyshop on Tuesday for repair following the door damage and the bumper damage. Rear passenger door crease dent and chip was repaired and the whole door resprayed, and damage to rear bumper crease was repaired and the corner resprayed.
Collected car from the bodyshop this morning and what a fantastic job they’ve done. I am thrilled. Absolutely flawless repair and paint job to both and all back to its best now. Even though it’s cost me £500 I’m actually glad I that I had full control over what type of repair was done and which bodyshop did it, rather than arguing it out with some third party.
I must give the highest praise the the bodyshop A B Crush. They have done repair and paint on two of my cars now and both times I have been over the moon with the quality of the work and their excellent level of customer service. It’s a bit of a far flung corner of the country but for anyone in this part of East Kent looking for a very good body shop should consider them. They are next to Lydden Hill Race Circuit, near Dover.
As a final goodbye to the little courtesy Skoda Fabia – I thrashed it all the way down to the bodyshop.
