If it's Nitromors they used, it might be best to go somewhere that specialises in fibreglass preparation and spraying. I've read somewhere if it's not done right you will get bubbling reappear in your nice new paint job. Don't know if this only applies to Nitromors.
I really feel for you mate you must be devastated.

Regards
Simon.

i too would recommend Austec. Some spineless $hit keyed the Chim all around and i got the respray done there. The car was with them for just over a month, but i got a loan car for that time (not a Tiv though). But the work that they did was something else, top guys.

Aswell as Austec, try Keith.
You were talking to him at the Woodman, he was the one with the Sp6 soon for sale.

I would give Braintree Accident Repair Centre a call mate, 01376 327577 and ask for Dave Cook.

The guys been in the business for years and does a bloody thorough job, my brother had his Elise done there and he did a very very good job. The old man used to use his him for all his Lotus work back in the day, so he knows about the fibre glass stuff.

Sorry to hear about your damage, there's some c**ts out there.

Jeez what is happening around here lately.
Bad enough seeing Dave's T350 but now yours too!!!

Check with your insurance to see if you are entitled to a courtesy car whilst yours is in for repair.
It may well be that you can insist on like for like if you have that facility available.

Drop me a mail and I'll send you the details of another repairer in the Essex area recommended to me lately.

Hope you get it sorted soon....

Yep, another thumbs up for BAR in Braintree, I was up there the other day and he's quite quiet at the mo so might be able to fit you in quite quickly...
