We've had the chim 4 years now, used everyday rain or shine and she's starting to look a bit bedraggled. So the car could do with a little make over to:

get rid of stone chips
replace paint on wing mirrors
repair a few annoying scratches

but also, due to the correct amount of top down motoring and our variable weather (i.e. hood up and down like a fiddlers elbow!), the hood is a bit worse for wear too:

small hole in rear window and stiching coming away
some of the mohair rubbed away on roof panel

Anyone recommend a suitable place to get all this sorted in the Cambs area. I use Offords for servicing, not sure they do bodyshop/trim work though.

TIA.

For bodywork I'd go to Hilton Coachworks in Bishop's Stortford -- they're owned by the same people as Castle TVR and do a sterling job with paint.

Offords do a cracking job with paint/body issues. they have an ICI 2K mixer system there so they will sort your chips out no problems have seen some of the work they have done and it looks great, very professionally done.
