Hey all,
I have of course done the usual search before posting this thread, but either the threads I've found are too old, or are not in the areas I can travel to.
I'm looking for a HIGHLY recommended bodyshop in the Portsmouth/Southampton/Basingstoke area.
I have lots of minor defects with my car bodywork that have been obtained over the 100k miles that my car has covered, and it's driving me nuts that I haven't yet got them sorted. So I think I might just get them all done in one go.
I have:
What should I do to get all resolved?
So far I've considered getting someone like Chips away to look at the stone-chips, and they also deal with minor dents, so might be able to pull them out. I've also considered full-on respray, but this will be expensive and I'm worried that it won't be as good as the factory finish. Obviously I can get a seperate company to refurb the alloys if needed.
So, who recommends who in my local area? And what sort of costs should I be expecting?
Thanks

I have:
- Kerbed Alloys * 4 - varying degree of damaging depending on alloy (18")
- Stone chips gallore - primarily over the bonnet, bumper, left wing and roof edge
- Dents - crease in front left wing, (thanks mr postman!) central to bonnet (stone bounce), right wing & rear door lip.
- Couple of scratches in paintwork - mainly around one rear door handle, and one on rear bumper.
