Glassfibre body work specialists in Bournemouth?
Discussion
Without going into the embarrasing details, I have a small crack on the rear of my clam, about an inch long under my rear lights.
Can anyone recommend a decent body shop locally, or do I have to try and fight off Westover telling me I need a new clam (again).
I shan't go into details of how it happened, but suffice it to say, there is no insurance claim involved....
Ta in advance!

Bad luck old chap.
Long time no see - I hope all is well.
There are 2 places to try - The first is Specialised Paintwork in reading, they are the best. There is a place in Stanley Green Cresent Industrial Estate, the '7 guys swear by it. They have fixed Beachbums car and I once got a very reasonable quote but that is all I know.

Rumour has it the original bloke was going to start up a new company, but that was some time ago and I never heard anything more.
Would suggest trying the Caterfield forum, they may have the guys name as he is a 7 owner. His work was very good, and the price was stupidly good, cash helps

Update - I took my P+J up to Specialised Paintwork in Reading on Tuesday, and picked her up last night.
WOW.
They have done an amazing job, and even did the whole back end (a previous ding had been coloured in the wrong shade of blue.....) and gave it a thorough valet and also fixed my broken indicator lense, all for what I think is a very reasonable £480. All throughout the service and communication was spot on.
So, wallet lighter, but happier

Nice one Ben
Like having it new all over again
My ex-SportsRacer unfortunately died last week - written off in an incident... but the occupants were fine which is the main thing of course
Still shed a tear when I saw the crash pics though
OMG, Janitor you must be distraught after all the pampering you gave it...what a shame. Glad occupants were OK though. Like having it new all over again

Looked pretty twisted and BoLOCs’d at the back mate... both rear wheels toeing out at about 30 degrees suggests major sub-frame damage
Apart from the seats and front access covers, I don't thing anything else got away unscathed
