Anyone got recommendations for a place in Dorset that could re-spray a bonnet/wing and blend (metallic) that wouldn't be a zillion pounds? Quotes I've got locally (Dorchester) before VAT are around £500 for the bonnet and £250 for the wing which seems a bit pricey to me but maybe I'm out of touch with bodyshop prices?

I don't actually know any bodyshops to recommend in the area, but if you don't mind travelling this guy does some great work.

Not sure if his prices would be any lower than those though.

I quite often use a guy in Rousdon, just the other side of Lyme Regis, Gavin Coombes Autobody. He does a good job for a fair price normally. Might be a bit of a trek from Dorchester though.

Thanks both, I'm willing to travel a bit around the county for a decent job!

Not yet, I think I saw an ad for them somewhere as the name rings a bell but didn't have anything to note their details down on...
