Anyone recommend a body specialist to fit my WALD kit in NW?

Anyone got any ideas about a good body shop that could fit my WALD kit and fogs or should I go down the route of test fitting it myself?

Fit it yourself! Its like Lego when you were a kid, all the fun is in fitting/building it yourself.

I had no idea when I did my facelift kit on my old W202 and the C43 kit on my current, but I had a go and had no trouble at all.

Don't bother fitting it. It will look terrible.

I will happily take it off your hands if you decide to get rid of it.......

I like some of them, but all depends on what wheels, how its fitted etc..

KLP knows a good painter.. PM him.. think its someone in his family... they did the work on his SEC and several of Talbir's cars...

AFAIK, the WALD kits are fibreglass. My experience with fibreglass (including manufacturing replica AMG Kits) is that you need a good bodyshop to fit them as they aren't as flexible as they need to be, and the tinkering is a skill.

I'd not even consider the DIY route with anything other than a factory bolt on goody...pay and get it done properly or it will look like a dog's dinner.

Some may say Wald kits look like a dogs dinner even when fitted correctly, all very subjective though.

And mine if it's the same guy in Alperton . Did a fantastic job on my AMG rear bumper...

Well no I'm considering fitting it, but also thinking about the pitfalls and whether I can fit it myself. I guess I'm just doubting, prolly unnecessary
