Body shop needed for my Jag
Discussion
Fair point - lets say good value! Simply not worth going to a dealer so I just need a decentish body shop that is happy to do the job at reasonable rates.
Anyone know anyone who can help, do please let me know. If not, I'll probably just write the car off but it seems a shame as she is in amazing condition, well, she was, until last night obviously!

This is 'my jag guy' in Stanmore, he should be able to help and you won't be paying stupid prices.
LOL - Paul? I know him well! He uses my old garage to store parts. Not sure how good he is on cost for bodywork but already texted him. He lives just over 1 mile from me!
If you ever down here and need to kill some time over a beer or need a quick lift to a local station or something, let me know.

Yes Paul.. or God, as he prefers to be known If you ever down here and need to kill some time over a beer or need a quick lift to a local station or something, let me know.
I am sure he will get it sorted for you, if you can actually get him to answer his phone, no idea how he is with texts!
He can be a nightmare to get hold of but worst case, I drop over to his place. Not Mr reliable at times but knows Jags and he has saved me a fortune with bits of help over the years. You seen his XJS project car? 6 wheels and a flat bed which I understand he wants to turn into a hot tub! Mad as a mad thing but how funny will that be if he completes it?!
yeah that seems like a vehicle that will get a lot of use...
If it is anything like his shortened (and converted?) XJ6 (or is it an XJS?)with the license plate A1 FUK (!) then it is going to be a long time before we see it on the road!
I wonder how many jags he actually owns, i am fairly sure he still has the XJ6 i traded in about 11yrs ago..

Some fool hit the front of my car this evening. I need a new wing, lights and a rad grill at least. Thing is it is a 13 year old Jag. Great nick but not worth a lot. Cheap bodyshop needed - I am based in N London but dont mind travelling a bit if need be.
Any recommendations?
I know folks who have used this guy - a little independent place just outside Epping (top of the Ivy Chimneys road).Any recommendations?
Website is terrible but I think he's pretty good when it comes to actual mechanics and bodywork stuff.
