Can anyone recommend a good bodyshop in the north/northwest who'll do a good job?

Cheers

Not sure of the spelling but I know someone who recently resprayed a 325iS at a place called 'Hartwood engineering' In southport. Top job.

I had my M3 totally resprayed 2 years ago and the guy did a fantastic job.....windows out etc and it came to £1600 and that included the cost of the windscreen in/out.

Hes worth the travel in Harrogate!!

I had some of mine re-done at a place called Greenwoods, in Longridge, near Preston, top top place, they do restorations on old Porsches, Astons etc. I remember when i took mine there was an original 70s 911 turbo taken down to bare shell. Not the cheapest, but one of the best.
