Anyone recommend a bodyshop

[xxplod]

I have a 1993 Italian Job which has got to the point where the bodywork needs some major work. I intend to replace both wings, bonnet, A-panels and door skins, plus a full respray. Plus replace a few other bits; grill, bumpers, carpets - all the usual.

Can anyone recommend a decent mini-specialist or bodyshop who could do this work? Somewhere in Surrey or the bordering counties would be ideal.

Many thanks!

There is a guy in here that Cooperman recommends, he is meant to be great work at a good price.

I was going to send my mini to him but decided to do it myself (mistake)!

I'll post it again.
The best Mini bodywork guy around by far is Chris Spennewyn who is in Hitchin. His number is 01462 711080. He has a trailer for collecting cars and delivering and his charge rates are very reasonable.
The only trouble is that he does have a bit of a back log of Minis awaiting repair/restoration, but it's worth it in the end. He just did the bodywork on my rally car and it looks great again. Not only great, but it's stronger with lots of seam welding, etc.
I hope this helps,

Peter
