Can anyone recommend a good but affordable body shop? My M5 has rust that I want cutting out and new steel welding in.

Thanks.

Cheers. Genuine question, would it have been cheaper to replace the door?

door pushed in by a nice person at a car park!!!! I didn't take it through insurance, so everyone I went through knew it was a self pay job...... and nope, door replacement was over x3 more....... even if you just replaced the door skin, it would have cost a lot more..... job was perfect.
In that case that's good to hear. Companies often prefer to do what makes them the most money.

Bummer about someone doing that to your car, I've had similar, it rankles a lot!
