Sword Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 I'm looking for a body shop to paint bumpers/bonnet and front wings. I'm based in Surrey but prepared to travel if needed for the work So far I have spoken to 5 body shops and none have got back to me. I guess they aren't interested in my business! Any suggestions gratefully received Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninesomething Posted May 4 Report Share Posted May 4 Guy at Dove House put me onto a couple of places. Both wanted more than £2500 for bumper and bonnet. No damage just chips. 😱 Think I'll leave it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not useful to OP, but @Ninesomething go see Tim and Paint FX just of Stamford Road behind Kwik Fit if you still need it done locally. Bonnet, bumper and wing respray on The Much Better ½'s Golf with some minor repairs, £880 incl VAT earlier this year, turned round in a week. He's done both my 986 bumpers for under £300 incl VAT each in the last 4 years but I did take them to him stripped off the car and of all accessories ready for them to prep.

The guy at DH knows what my car is and he told me they'd done loads of Boxster front bumpers for them. Can't believe they can spend that sort of money on a car they're going to retail. Anyway thanks for the tip - I take it you were happy with the job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Loon Posted May 4 Report Share Posted May 4 I paid £700 to have my front bumper and bonnet resprayed but its a bodyshop I have used for 20 years + so I get a very good deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a restorer/custom paint shop, not an accident repair centre so it is craftsmanship even if the premises look shabby. You can pop buy and look over the work he's done if you wish.

Ninesomething Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 Yeah I will. In Spain right now though. Have to say the place DH sent me to looked a proper dump inside and out but they were doing full restos on an E type and a 911 turbo. Don't care to contribute towards expensive premises....
