SX incident at Le Mans - Bodyshop Help
Discussion
Ok guys here goes, me and Firefoot went to Le-Mans this year as usual. We decided to go for a bit of a drive and had a slight accident. Basically came off a roundabout and hit a patch of oil, the LSD let go and i couldnt recover it, gutted cause i was only doing about 20 coming off the roundabout. I've had a few suggestions as to what needs repairing which goes like this:-
1. New Door
2. New Bumper (cracked)
3. New Mirror
4. New Sills
5. Rear Quarter bashed out and resprayed.
6. 2 alloys damaged to possible mot failure
7. rear adjustable camber arm bent
We wondered if anybody knows of a good accident repair/ body shop in the Cardiff/Barry area they can suggest or recommend. The car still drives straight and true, slight vibration from the damaged alloys but apart from that feels fine no engine damage at all. We managed to get it the full 900 miles back from Le Mans to Wales. We're both fine and hope to see you all soon cheers.

Already spoken to you I know but just wanted to say I hope you manage to get it all sorted soon.
Can't help with the body shop recommendations I'm afraid but I'm sure someone will point you in right direction.
What happened to all the stickers though?

Thanks for your replies guys. As for the stickers they fell off due to the force of the impact lol. Seriously though Firefoot wanted the car back to black which i have to agree looks tonnes better. Just hope we can get the SX fixed quick so i can get my MR2 back. Only got 4 weeks till the next run, i have new wheels and a new bumper all waiting. Anyway heres the stickered up version of the damage for you that want to see gore lol.

If you're looking for someone in Barry then there are 2 places that I would recommend, Autopro are decent, good lads , did my race and do my vans - ask for Ritchie.
Atlantic Spray are also very good and will do cash deals, they do alot of high end stuff, just done my M3 and my old man's 6 series, both at an incredible price, ask for John.
these 2 are the best in Barry IMO and will do good deals and decent work

I guess that was you I met at Atlantic Spray Taffy.
Have to say I was a little concerned about the lack of inspection they gave the car. Didn't even get it up on the lift to check underneath. The guy asked me if I was in the trade as I knew so much about the car. Dont you love these people who assume women know nothing about cars
Thanks for the various recommendations guys. Have plenty of quotes and will be getting a couple more tomorrow. Car will live again!

Hi Firefoot, yes that was me, sorry couldn't chat, was in a major hurry (as usual) they're tarting up my M3 for resale. They are a tad rough and ready in appearance but I can safely say that they are a decent outfit, been around for years, they've done alot my cars and vans and are respected, I wouldn't give them my car otherwise!
