Bodyshops in the Northwest
« on: 31 July 2009, 12:30 »
Looking to get the upper part of my rear bumper smoothed and colour coded in the next few weeks, as Sambo has done recently.

Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for decent bodyshops in the Northwest, ideally in the Merseyside/Warrington area?

Cheers

AJ

I have used Paint and Trim in Ellesmere Port a few times, I know he use to do some of the repair work for Vauxhalls fleet cars too. Its located not far from the Lexus dealers near Cheshire Oaks.

More good tips guys, thanks.

Think I have enough to go on. Was supposed to be off this week coming but have had to put it back until the end of August, so will hopefully get it done then.

They have done a few bits for me and i cant recommend them highly enough.  :smiley:
They are on the expensive side of cheap though, but you get what you pay for with them.
If you give them a ring ask to speak to Andy or Mat.  :smug:

Will do Top Cat, your cars looks great so good to know the quality of their work.

How much do people reckon in general to just get the upper part of the rear bumper colour coded on a steel grey gti?

At a guess £200 I reckon as it need's to be sanded and high build primered so it's smooth.
