964 bodyshop recommendation SE London, Kent, Surrey

[RZD]

I would like to refresh the condition of the bodywork and paintwork on my 964.
Has anyone got any recommendations as to a reliable and trustworthy bodyshop in SE London, Kent or Surrey that could bring my car back to its former glory?

Any suggestions and advice gratefully accepted.......

Many thanks for the replies so far.
I very much like the idea of the "group discount" strategy

I'd highly recommend www.sprcoachworks.co.uk in Sussex, they do a lot of Porsches they had a nice 964 turbo in for a full respray a few weeks ago

Good job at a sensible price, in my experince at least when he did some work on my 996tt

use Alan Ribbens, just used him to paint my car and he did a fantastic job.

Cam recomended by a detailer I use which is always a good sign!

Let me know if you want his number.

Sorry forgot to say, hes based in Kent and used to work at Swanley Paint mentioned above.

I have used SL before. Good but not as good as Alan Ribbens and they charge a premium for their brand IMO.

Kelly (KDS Keltec) n Medway is highly regarded...does great body resto work and his finish is always superb. Search the many threads on PH about him.

The black and grey cars above look fantastic!
