Had a nasty encounter with a suicidal fox this morning that has left my offside lower front bodywork a 'bit smashed'.

Can anyone recommend a decent (and cheap) bodyshop in the East Midlands area? I'm hoping it can be repaired rather than having to cut chunks out of it, but that's really for a expert to decide.

Grrr...who wanted fox hunting banned? (joke)

Hi Andy,

sorry to hear about your ding, bad luck. Don't know about a Leicester bodyshop but try giving Carizma (on the same estate as TMS) a call 01664500111, their hourly labour rates are reasonable. Hope to see you around soon,

Son

Hi Andy

We got some scratched paintwork on the Tuscan done at these guys...

TripleXxxtreme

They are in the next village to us. Very boy racer but they do paintwork repairs for the regions Ferrari dealers etc. We were very happy with the job they did. They specialise in GRP and make bodykits for the Max Power brigade and they do know what they are doing.

Unlikely as it may seem, when we were there they had just finished restoring an MG TD (old school) The paintwork was like glass, it was absolutely beautiful.

Wouldn't hesitate to go there again.

BTW I swapped my BMW MINI for a Chim too

Alan at the EMTVRCC had his front end repaired locally a couple of months ago, whoever did that did a good job. Might be worth dropping an email to John the RO, see if he can put you in touch? I know Duncan is having his rear end done (oerr missus) at the moment, don't know by who, though.
