Some friends of ours who are "technically challenged" suffered the misfortune of a very slow speed shunt from another car pushing there S2's bonnet out of line and causing some fiberglass damage which now requires a bodyshop!

They are based in Banbury. If anybody has any recommendations or suggestions for somebody who could take this on preferably in or around Oxfordshire, but all recommendations will be passed on and greatfuly received.

Thanks in advance.

Is this going through insurance?

Hopefully not, as both parties unfortunately know each other.

Mat Smith in Downham Market could help.

Have you used them for bodywork yourself?

Matt uses a guy on the same industrial estate as him called Chris Brown ( I think) who does the actual bodywork. He did the insurance repair on my bonnet with Matt doing the mechanical bits...did a good job and knows glass fibre well.....

...before...slightly out of alignment...


...after....he even added the stripes back...

Thanks Andy

Looks like a great job, sorry to see your accident, felt bad giggling at your slightly out of alignment gag, not funny at the time I am sure.

I think Andy has said exactly what I would have. Mat has an S that he refurbed and the paint shop mentioned did the respray. I trust Mat wholeheartedly. I travel from S London to use his services.
