Elise body repairs in Scotland...
Discussion
I'm a newbie - to the forum, to posting...
My S2 Elise slipped off the A9 on ice just before xmas. Not ideal, on many levels. Amazing how much damage a 40mph slide into a snow drift can do to a glass-fibre body. A few questions.
Looking for a good independent mender in Scotland. A couple of the garages mentioned in the forums don't do body repairs. Would prefer to steer clear of Murrays. Any pointers gratefully received.
Am also thinking about a self repair - to be honest more for the grins than the saving of cash, (it's an insurance job anyways) but have been warned off it as being bigger than a DIY exercise in a double garage.
Damage is to the front, at the number plate mounting 'chin' and to the drivers sill. I'm assuming this will be a complete nose-cone/bonnet job..? The sill panel looks to be part bolted on and part bonded on - is this true?
Many Thanks..!

Just wondering why you'd steer clear of Murray? They did a great job on my Esprit two years ago, replacing/spraying the front bumper, valence and grill and fitting a new fog light. Admittedly I didn't have to pay for it as it was a delivery driver who reversed into it in their own car park after they had just finished servicing it!
Anyhow, I was very pleased with the fit and finish, particularly the paint work. Even though I never asked for it, they even went round the back and fixed a couple of runs in the light panel which had been there since the conversion was done years ago.
