Bodyshop is: http://www.blakesautobodyshop.co.uk/

I haven't yet taken my car there, but the manager is a friend of my OH (OH = Other Half smile ) and they have a good reputation.

The best body shop is Washington coach works, speak to Neil 01903892700 www.washingtoncoachworks.com

Product quality and customer service is excellent. Quite a few people on PH in Sussex and Hampshire use him.

He is the only chap that I would trust with my babies, Noble M12 and a bright green tricked 205gti (the pug is with him at the moment)

He does Classics through to Super cars no jobs to big or small!!!

Thanks for the help guys!

Nicksy- I had a look at the website, it looks good. Your Noble (at least I presume it is) even makes an appearance!

No the Noble on the web site is a friend on mine that lives in Portsmouth and the chap that owns the lambos also comes from that neck of te woods!!! It goes to show that people will travel for the best!!!! But with Neil the best doesn't mean that it costs the earth!!!! don't worry if your pride and joy isnt a supercar!! its still your pride and joy and neil will look after you.

Does anybody know of a good bodyshop nearer Horsham?

I had an unfortunate rear wing/metal sign interface today... Paint damage only though.

Not quite Horsham, closer to Brighton:

http://www.portsladepanelworks.co.uk/

I've had a couple of minor scrapes sorted on previous cars, and they're usually full of Merc Porkers BMW's etc.

If you can head over to East Sussex I'd recomend www.sprcoachworks.co.uk

They painted my E30 M3 (was at the pistonheads show at Autosport) did a very nice job for a reasonable price, Can't ask more than that.

I'd avoid them if I were you.
Without naming and shaming, they messed me about something rotten.
