Hi,

I was looking to get some advice on bodywork on my 987 Boxster S.

My badge has been 'kindly' removed for me with a couple of scratches to the bonnet and on a seperate incident my petrol cap has been sctratched and the housing dented.......

I was looking into getting advice on a bodyshop around London Bridge - I've shopped around the Porsche bodyshops and OPC's but hte quotes are creeping up.

I've had a great quote (several hundred pounds less) from a salvage type knocks guy who seems very genuine and comes with glowing refs but with much smaller cars.

My can is in good working order but itmes are tough and I want to keep it up but don't need full resprays etc - was looking at a touch up?

Does anyone have a contact they can recommend?

Be really grateful to see what experiences people have had?

Best Wishes!

Have you tried the Porsche guys under the arches near tower Bridge? I think its Druid St?

Otherwise, I can recommend a great shop in Charlton.

Yeah, tried Tower Bridge and was very expensive - on par with actual Porsche garage, thats why I'm now looking for touch up places - who's your recommendation in Charlton - I'd like to get a quote - are they a body shop or touch up place?

Thanks

Charlton are a full shop.
Westfield smash repairs - ask to speak to Dave.
They've done rust on my Alpina and paint on the 355. Very good outfit IMHO.
