Where to get a respray in London or B'mouth

[munky]

Can anyone recommend a good place to get a Tiv resprayed? Either close to central London, or Bournemouth. Actually Essex could work as well.

Anyone had a full respray and what did it cost?

Also thinking of armourfending the whole front end (whole panels only so no lines halfway up the bonnet)

thanks

I used a guy in Dagenham Essex for my frontend Chim respray last year, they only charged me just under 500 cash from memory and did an excellent job. I'll be getting them to do my Cerb later this year. They previously did my whole Porsche 944 for around a grand and it looked perfect! so not only cheap but good which is a rare combination. The contact is Gary at McCalisters on 02085908354. I've got no personal link with them by the way just a satisfied customer!

I used a place called Kingscourt Coachworks, which is down near Chessington. I think they do work for the nearby TVR/Noble dealer (Mole Valley?). Excellent job anyway, and a bit nearer to you than others mentioned.

Edited cos my typing's rubbish!

I used a place down Airfield road in Christchurch for a front end respray a couple of years ago. A mate of mine who's a sprayer recommended a mate of his who had opened a sprayshop. He did a really good job @ a fair price. Problem is I don't know the name of the place Bloke's called Clint. I'll see if I can find out if he's still there & what the place is called...

Edited to say:
Right, I just looked way back through my forum topics & the place I went to was called 'Auto Excellence'. Whether they're still there I don't know.
