I would like to refresh the condition of the bodywork and paintwork on my 964.
Has anyone got any recommendations as to a reliable and trustworthy bodyshop in SE London, Kent or Surrey that could bring my car back to its former glory?

Any suggestions and advice gratefully accepted....... smile

I used MS Coachworks in Welling last year following a recommendation of a neighbour. Was on my BMW but the job he did was first rate. I need to get a couple of bits done on mine - not sure if he will do us a group discount?

I'd highly recommend www.sprcoachworks.co.uk in Sussex, they do a lot of Porsches they had a nice 964 turbo in for a full respray a few weeks ago

use Alan Ribbens, just used him to paint my car and he did a fantastic job.

Cam recomended by a detailer I use which is always a good sign!

Let me know if you want his number.

I have used SL before. Good but not as good as Alan Ribbens and they charge a premium for their brand IMO.
