Anyone recommend a good (not too expensive) body worker in the Norwich area?

After a minor disagreement with a post in Roys of Wroxham car park, I now have a dent in my bumper and hatch.

oh dear.....mmmmm...trying to think of somewhere...what about the Classic car restorers that is just outside Coltishall village...can't remember the name but you drive over the bridge towards Norwich and go straight on at the roundabout (with the Recruiting Sgt pub on the right), then take the next right down a lane....they are then set off the road on the left. I know some who has had his Lotus done there and recommends them highly...worth a try?

I've heard good things about East Bilney Coachworks, it was mentioned on Top Gear when they took the Lotus lada to be sprayed there. It's a bit of a trek from Norwich though - about 20 miles North.

I have no idea where it is, so have a good chance of finding it by accident...

Cheers Guys

This has given me a few more places to try.

I've had one quote so far for £450!! Seems a bit high for a dent about the size of your fist.

well if it is only a dent and no respraying is needed, then I'd suggest Dent Devils. They are based in Colchester, but the local bloke is at North Walsham/Aylsham....he did some work for me a couple of years back and he was superb....and he's open to a bit of cash in hand work too
