Not in Ringwood, but not too far away is Everyway Car Repairs just off M271, 10 Old Redbridge Rd, SO15 0NJ. They look after my M3 rally cars and just did a stunning job rebuilding my destroyed TVR. Good prices and very good workmanship. They've just part painted my XKR too and look after some very valuable historic race cars.
Speak to Steve on 02380 869391 and mention Chris with the BMW rally cars.

Also in Southampton, Jarvis cars in Beovis valley.
Used them a couple of times for paintwork and couldn't be happier with the results.
When my wife's 106 was rear ended, Jarvis were the only ones to spot that one side of the car had already been resprayed and was a slightly different red. They blended two reds across the tailgate so that both sides appeared to match their respective rear wings.
Ian Jarvis was upfront in saying that the job would never be 100% perfect as it was impossible to get a paint match, but the finished result was very good, and certainly better than the muppets who our insurers insisted were given three attempts at the repair (never use BP *****Royce.)

Dave looks like a right scoundrel, but he does an excellent job - and not expensive. He does a lot of decent stuff, I've seen M3s, track Porsches etc. in there.
Fixes all our (Stewarts Garden Centre chain) non-insurance jobs and he did a supernaturally good job on my XR2's tailgate which had a long rusty perforation on the inside lip.

Quick update: as it panned out, the other parties insurer agreed to their bodyshop doing the work, rather than settle with me - the car's back & they've done a great job - Sewards in New Milton, very happy.
I'd say you are one of the lucky ones then.I have had repairs done by them and the results were appalling.
Even to the point of missing the rear axle being bent ('we put it on the jig and it was within tolarances' - yeah right) and trying to hand it back to me with shiny repaired bodywork, and mis matched paint.
Still, as long as you are happy is all that matters!
