Porsche bodyshop?

[gareth h]

I’ve just bought a 993 and it could do with a front end respray, any recommendations (I’m out West)?

I've used Stepaside Coachworks in Pleasant Valley several times.

Thanks, I’ll check them out

Failing that the nearest porsche ones will be in Birmingham or Bristol

any reputable painter could tackle it really so maybe look for a decent local recommended bodyshop.

On a semi related note, Chris Denning in Cardiff is highly recommended for servicing and repairs.

Tiny garage tucked away in Cardiff, he is hugely knowledgable and capable and did a great job on my 981. 1/3 of main dealer costs.

Cardigan for cars and coffee is a good trip out.

Thanks, I spoke to Chris about a car I viewed in Cardiff, seemed like a top bloke, there are also a couple of specialists around Bridgend which is a bit more convenient.

I can't speak highly enough of Chris.

I’d say the same, he’s so busy you need to be patient - but his price and quality of work is the best of many specialists in the marque.

The only other really good Indy I’ve found (but for lotus / Caterham ) is Q Mech near Bridgend who are first class.

Another thumbs up for Chris Denning.

Anthony at D9 in Porthcawl is also very good.

AWL in Swansea recommended for body work, a lot of expensive metal (and plastic!) goes through their workshop. Owner is a 996 owner too
