NE Hello and bodyshop advice request

[T S Magnum]

Hi all.

I have recently come up to your parts (North Shields). I really like Newcastle as a city but especially the surrounding country, beaches and roads. Only downer so far is the vandalism that happened to my 182, as seen here:

I want to join in on the action up here ASAP but don't want all to see the car looking as she does!

I have been quoted £220 for replacement door mouldings from Renault so am now considering getting the doors smoothed and painted instead (so they can get nicked again and just to be different).

Does anyone know of / have experience of a good bodyshop who could do said work at a realistic rate?

Thanks, M

Heaton Park Coach Works often gets a thumbs up on here but I know they're not the cheapest. Strastone (place with Corvettes) on Felling By-pass seem to do some good work as well.
