Hi,

Someone reversed into the VXR8 while stationary in a private work car park this morning. Cracked number plate and it looks like the whole front bumper has been bent downwards, opening up the bumper-to-bonnet/wing gap to 10-15mm.

Anyone recommend a bodyshop/accident repair specialist in Northampton/South Northants I could get quotes from as a starter for 10? Have checked the Northants wiki, however nothing stands out as obvious.

So glad I fitted the Roadhawk because I suspect this is going to be a nightmare to sort out - at least I have the whole event on video.

Paint Tec - 01604 864900 - based between Blisworth & Roade (South Northants area) - do excellent work.

Panelcraft in Rushden (just behind Sureweld). They have always done an excellent job and never load it for insurance work. Haven't used them for a few years so assume they are still there.

Castle Coachworks or Elite would be my recommendation on experience.
Never touch Nationwide in Deventry, they really foofed up my Scooby when in was stolen, so much so I refused to pay the excess.

Another vote for Elite from me. They worked on my Beemer and did an absolute first class job. They are the official Porsche repairer and hence a very professional and well equipped outfit. Not the cheapest mind, but you get what you pay for.

I use Ideal Motors in Brixworth, very good body shop, just check out Matts Caddy van, shows what they can do, they are VW nutters, so a good place for the VAG boys and girls.
