Morning,

Last night my car (brabus Roadster) was knifed all the way along the drivers side. The scratches are cut into the black plastic in some places

Do you guys know of anyone in the south (portsmouth) who would be best to look at the car?

Do you think a body shop is best over a scratch repair company?

Any recomendations? Also had my GF car done and 1 other in the street. (there was only the 3 of us parked on the road) I am sooo annoyed as im trying to sel the car and the last thing i want to do is pay out to get it back to what it was.

Commiserations.

To answer your question - there are good and bad examples of both. A good example of either can sort your problem. A bad example of either could make a mess of the car. It's not a question of one vs the other.

Get local recommendations from customers of the actual guy/gal who'd be doing the work. Any other advice is pretty meaningless.

Best of luck getting it sorted.

What Anatol posted is good advice, also take your time in finding the right person/place from recommendations and if you can ask them if you can have a look at some of their work.

Thanks for the replies guys. I have a friend of the family who has used a 'smart repair' company that he highly recomends so i am going to see if they are able to fix the car.

If they say it needs a full pannel spray ill head to a body shop
