Add your location to your profile and we can suggest a local zoner with the right skills.

Matts are beyond reproach, but if you're in Fife(example) its a bit of a mission to get there.

Has anyone got a phone number and/or address for Matt's bodyshop? Time to get the body work sorted!

Cheers

Search for Simon13's Alpina restoration, it was done at a fellow zoners bodyshop and it was an amazing job. I think it might be a Renault accident repair centre, but they certainly have some skilled guys there. That is guilford based I think.

Worth a look anyway.

That would be where i work! :D Yes we are a Renault Bodyshop and service centre but our bodyshop is a large teir A repairer for all the main insurance companys so repair all makes. We also do the sales bodywork for the two local BMW dealers (Cooper Croydon and Cooper Banstead).

Here is the body resto of Simon13's Alpina
