Nick, I should have my first pieces back this week. I can tell you for sure then. Very hopeful, they do two F1 teams. In Daventry.

I used Chiltern Body Shop in Fenlake Road Ind Estate when I had the front of mine blown over a couple of years back. Very good colour match and couldn't fault the quality. He likes cash as well. ;)

I know a man in Weston-on-the -Green Oxon who is top draw and very reasonable. He has done no end of plastic car work and I wouldnt go anywhere else.

Nick, I should have my first pieces back this week. I can tell you for sure then. Very hopeful, they do two F1 teams. In Daventry.

Is that the place opposite Guglielmi's?

Frankly, Motorbodies in Luton did the best bloody paintjob ever. Mandarin is *really* hard to match - and Sinclaire's cocked up, I hated what they did. It then went in to Motorbodies (clam had to be replaced under Vauxhall warranty), and they did a **superb** job - can't recommend them highly enough. They even did some other small jobs free, and without me asking Imnotworthy They have done work on Penny's car, and she has also been really happy. In fact, it was her who recommended them to me

If you want to go there, let me know - and I'll give you the name of the guy you need to speak to
