Does anyone have any experience of coachwork comapnies in the central belt (pref Edinburgh area). I'm looking to get a few wee bits done to the rear arch/valance area and have been quoted £500 by a classic car restorer, but I wanted to know if there were cheaper, excellent alternatives out there.

Help greatly appreciated!!!

There used to be (and possibly still is) a company on the road out of Edinburgh on the way to the Airport. There was always some modified cars outside which looked to be very well crafted.

I'm afraid I don't recall the name. :(

Just a quick addition to this - Got my rear arches and valance seen to by Edinburgh Retro Cars and the work completed was fantastic!
I would have no hesitation in fully recommending this chap!
