Anyone know of a good bodyshop in Hampshire?
Just need the sills and front apron respraying without paying through the nose.
Have used a place in Aldershot before to do the rear panel - they did a fantastic job, but they prefer to focus on insurance jobs rather than restoration jobs (if you know what I mean).
Cheers

I used a shop called Motor World (not the accessory shops) recommended to me by one of my clients - a second hand car showroom! - they sort out all their cars before they go on sale so they are used to 'tidying up' They fitted and sprayed a new front spoiler supplied by me, sparayed front bumper and also the 'edge to spoiler panel on my boot. Seem to do a good job of matching and finishing. See below. They are based on an industrial estate between Cosham and Southsea if that's not too far for you. Seem to remember about Ԛ£180.

I had my mini respreayed in medstead, did the whole roof and part of the top where it had been crashed into a parked lorry.
Paint matched exactally and you cant tell its been resprayed and it still looks perfect today, this was about 2-3 years ago.
You may of seen it about, red with a black roof and loud exhaust, goes round alton a lot, my sisters car now.
Anyway i dont remember the adress right now but i can find out if you want

AlpineCab, went down to Motor World today to get their details. They have moved round the corner to bigger premises but I recognised a couple of the same sprayers working there. Their address is Unit 11, Venture Industrial Park, Ackworth Road, Portsmouth PO3 5NS

Hope this helps.

pilt - I actually live in Four Marks, just next door to Medstead, so if that place is still around then that could be the answer. Have you got the address for that?
MONSPORT42 - thanks for help, worth a look I think, heading down pompey today for a few things will see if I can find the place.
Cheers guys.

Trade Only in Hamble. Currently have a resto job on a 323i on the go as well as a love for the cars. Do a good job at a good price. I've known the owner for years and I sometimes help out. Might be worth you getting a quote.

He is at Hound farm. There are two industrial estates there. From Tescos in Bursledon go down hamble lane until you get to the third roundabout (including the one outside tesco) then take 2nd exit. The second industrial estate on the right and follow through the gates past Abbey autos. He is in unit 14 Hound farm.
