Bumped into back of another car yesterday ay a roundabout.....resulted in a little grp work plus lenses, plus paint on my Griff. Not terribly serious and unsure wether to avoid insurance claim & pay myself, we will see. Thought she was going to go (indeed she started to then slammed on, I was looking to my right expecting her gone, doh!!), no chassis damage just a broken lens, craczing and a couple of gracks/splits at front.

Sooo, anyone recommend a body spec. in this area (I live in Chorley, Lancs) have had recommendation by the place where I get it looked after but this is in Yorkshire so a bit far but may still use the guy......, dont mind a little travel, would like job done fast (last time took 4 months & this was just a bit of paintwork!!!!!).

Over to the good guys.

If you're in Lancashire there's no other place to go, in my opinion, than Surface and Design in Blackpool. They might not be the cheapest but they're the best.

If it was me I would get the fiberglass done at TET Mouldings, I looked at a shell they has done a while ago and although I could see the repairs my hand could not detect the change in the surface. Having said that I would then take my car to Surface & Design for the paint.

Just my 2p worth as I am sure they are all good.
