Bodyshops around Manchester

[tsinc80697]

Can anyone recommend a decent bodyshop in/around Manchester/Bolton.

Looking for somewhere that can fit, prep and paint new parts but I'm struggling to find any that come with recommendations.

Thanks!

Speak to Kris. Young (well younger than me) but a very honest and decent chap.

Tell him Carl put you on to him.

John at MCR on Bury New Road is excellent. Works on anything from Enzo to Corsa

Prospray in Rixton.

Highly recommended. I was put onto them by a professional detailer who uses them.

They do everything from accident repair, exotica, motorsport etc etc. usually something interesting in the workshop.

Definatley worth a call.

Let us know how you get on, I've got some work that needs doing on my car.

Good stuff.

I think the main guy at Prospray is called Andrew???

They did the diffuser on my Astra VXR satin black a few years back and the quality of the work was second to none.

They definatley aren't the cheapest around but you get what you pay for.

Satin black is what I'm looking for on some parts, got any photos of the work? Think I'm going to get MCR to spray and fit my new spoiler initially to see what the work is like then either stick with MRC or head over to Prospray.

I've no decent pics really. Excuse the wonky exhaust!

Any updates?

Who did you go with?

[tsinc80697]

Ended up going to see John at MCR. Really nice guy, doen't mind spending time talking over your options and offering advice.

So far I've had a slightly damaged spoiler stripped, repaired, painted satin black, bolted and bonded to the car all for £250. That included removing the old spoiler and test fitting a new rear bumper for me (on another day). Will be going back the week after next for a new front bumper, rear bumper and skirts.

Also has courtesy cars if needed but as I work in Manchester he got one of the lads to give me in a lift into town twice as I ddidn't want to take the car off him for the whole day just to sit a mile down the road

Oh, s99ane , I'm guessing your the GTR owner I've seen outside MCR? Selling up on GTROC I saw, fancy something new? Take IOU's?

Hi Tom was admiring your car tr other day. As for selling up Im in two minds. The cars not getting used these days and maybe a Ferrari is a better driveway ornament. Will wait and see still don't know what to do as the GTR is a fantastic piece of kit.

You must tell John I recommended him!!
