Inner/Outer arch replacement needed - South

Hey,
I need inner & outers done on both sides. I'd rather not just pick a name out of the yellow pages.
Can anyone recommend someone in the south east who takes pride in their work?
And is it worth me getting the panels myself from the dealer?
Cheers

If It was me I'd order the parts myself from Zimmerbimmer ( Genuine Parts Dept ). That way you're getting them at a discounted price to your door and not gonna get charged extra by a bodyshop for supplying the parts. Sorry can't help with anybody local to you but if you don't mind travelling north (Sheffield) then Beardymat is your man.
Taylor.

I work for Renault in Croydon where we have a large bodyshop. We undertook the body restoration of Simon13's Alpina C2. Check the link below for the standard of work carried out. Were not cheap but the results are 1st class.

We are only open saturday morning. The best time to come over for a quote is in the week as the bodyshop estimaters are in then.
