I need a good bodyshop in London area

[KLP 92]

I need a really good sprayer to spray my offside door on my S500. Some lady lost control of her shopping trolley!!!!!!!!
I need a decent body shop as i've tried my local bodyshop before and his quality is not up to a merc standard. I don't want anyone to tell its been resprayed. Also at the same time i want my bumpers painted as the londonlife is taking its toll!
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

John, why not pop down and have a look when its done, ive never been dissapointed with his work in the past, and if ive ever spotted a fault, he`d re-do it until i was happy!

he doing the following on my car

front bumper - loadsa stone chips
rear bumper - i scraped it whilst reversing into my garage
drivers side - some git keyed it
front indicators on the wings welded up and sprayed
door handles done

My cars going into Northwood Coachworks tomorrow for a respray. (just a 2 minute drive from my place)
I showed John Prichard (the owner) the car on Friday and showed him the marks and scrapes on the front bumper, drivers side and boot lid.
He was a very very honest chap and inspected the car and informed me he would paint the front bumper and rear bumper (he found a few cracks i didn't see) and the whole drivers side as Brilliant silver is a hard colour to colour match. He advised against the boot lid being sprayed as that would mean blending the paint into the passengers rear 3/4 panel. He said the standard of finish will be the same as the paint on the car and he offers a 5 year guarentee on the paint.
I'm thinking of getting the bonnet sprayed as i got the biggest stone chip in the bonnet which left an inch scrape at the top of the bonnet!
The car is going in Monday (tomorrow) and will be back on Saturday morning so i'll post pics.

hey guys, sorry for the delay! got my car back last week, great job by the guys at Sira motors, sisters nicked the digi cam so i havent got any pics at the moment.

resprayed the whole drivers side (because of some scum bag keying it), respayed the passenger wing (had both indicators blanked off), back bumper sprayed (scraped it) and front bumper sprayed (stone chips), i must admit the car was looking neglected before i gave it in, but top color match on the silver paint!

i`ll try and get some pics when i get hold of a digi cam again!

Hi Alps,

Can I ask what that little lot cost you? After 25,000 motorway miles the front of my CLK could do with a little attention (stone chips etc) and I have the usual carpark dings and bumper scrapes that I would like to get seen to as well.

Cheers

Guy,

also forgot to mention i had thehandles color coded!

it cost me £600 all in, but considering it was most the car, and his work is the best, it was a good price!

Just got the car back.

I've had both sides, both bumpers, bonnet and boot lid resprayed. (everything bar the roof!)

It was raining when i took phots but it is a very very good job! Very happy with the work done!

 

[guydewdney]

nice job. does the roof now look dull in comparison?

if you dont mind - how much was that? I need the whole of the side doing, (2 x dent-and-run, and 1 my fault) theres loads of stone chips in the bonnet, so i had might as well get that done, theres a douple of small dents in the boot, so that might as well get done - so if that lot needs doing, I might as well do the other side....
