Title: Paintshop / bodyshop Birmingham
Post by: emaroid on 27 May 2010, 17:38
Hi not sure where is best to post this, but I'm after a good bodyshop in Birmingham so I can get some quotes on either a full respray or just to respray a few damaged panels. The damage isn't too bad just a few scratches , but its on at least 4 or even 5 panels. The colour is LC6M which is a pearl green I've had a bumper done before, which was spot on but the place has now stopped trading  :cry:

I'd love to have it fully resprayed candy white, but I'd guess this would be a lot of work considering the car is a dark colour currently?

Hi dave been through all of them and nothing near me.

I can't believe how many people have scratched my car, my uncle always said not to have a green car as it's bad luck, I'm begining to wonder!  :huh:

Whats the name and details of the garage? Can always drop it off there and get a lift back. What did they quote you per panel?

No haven't had time to fit the dsg yet, been really busy at work.

Any nice bits I could acquire from your car before you sell it?

What are you thinking of getting? I almost bought an r32 last weekend, one of the rare gunmetal grey ones was on autotrader for a bargain £8.5. Problem is misses wouldn't look after it so I decided not too get it.
