Bodywork repair near Sheffiield?
Discussion
Finally get the headlight rims back on the car after several months of it looking a bit sad, managed to last 4 days then some dozy bint decides to pull right across the road in front of me to enter her drive without indicating. I now have a lost rim, and several nasty looking cracks in the fabric of the bonnet together with crazed paint. Grrr. Didn't hit hard, so other than that, all is ok.
Trouble is, I really need the car for something important in about a fortnight, so I need a good, and fast bodywork repairer to fix the cracks and do a front end respray. I might be restricted by insurance co insisting on someone in particular, but in the absence of this, can anyone suggest anywhere? Sheffield would be a good place, but happy to travel for the right people to get the job done properly..

1st quote being prepared now. Looking like a new bonnet as there are too many small cracks all over the front off side for a decent repair. Bugger..
On the positive side, car is still drivable and I'll get a shiny new bonnet/paint job out of it which in fairness it was starting to look like it needed.
With a bit of luck, I'll not loose the car for too long as it may be possible to get the new bonnet prepared while I still have the car, then simply drive it to the garage to have the new one fitted. Its going to need indicators and I was thinking of replacing the headlights anyway. As long as the insurance goes through swiftly and there are no horrors bent under there, it all ought to be ok. :fingercrossed:

Cheers guys.. Will be using a TVR specialist as I'm not trusting it to just anyone. Thats assuming the insurers agree on fault, (i.e. not mine).
So far its looking like a £4K bill in total for a new bonnet and various odds and ends, (indicators, repsray etc). The car was valued by the club at £8.5 18 months ago when I bought it, half the value of the car to repair so looking like a borderline write off.
Might be possible to buy it off them and fix it myself, so thats an option I might think about. I guess I'll just wait to see what they think.
