Arch work needed - body & paint shop recomendations in Devon

[E38]

A bit of rot has built up on one of my rear arches, nothing extreme, but it's going to need some new material to be added, with a re-spray of the area.

I'm based in mid-Devon, so ideally somewhere in the same county.... but can also travel to Bristol, Reading or West London area.

Does anyone have recomendations of a place to go to get this done? I don't want to be ripped off but I also want a job done properly, to kill off the problem, not come back 2 years later, and with a good paint job (luckily it's a flat, non-metallic colour!) so will pay for the right service.

Thanks SW PHers!

My parents' neighbour had his car done at the place in Honiton and he seemed chuffed.

Need to start sussing this out myself. I need a fibreglass crack filled in the TVR bonnet and at least a partial respray.
