Unfortunately I hit a kerb at around 10mph after skidding on some ice. The impact was so awkward that after an inspection at a garage it appears that I have slightly stretched the bulkhead close to my near side front.

The helpful mechanic has informed me that I will need to take this to a bodywork centre and get the car on a jig.

The car in question is a Cooper S. I am loathed to take it to BMW as I know they will charge the world for labor but so far they are the only people I know who can fix my broken P&J.

So, can anyone point me in the direction of a good body shop who can do this type of work in the NW? I am located near Northwich and work in Chester so either of these areas would work.

Thanks

Just spoke to Andy now. Turns out my origional recommendation for a jig was not required but he is sorting out the outstanding issues for me now.

Thanks for the link.
