Anybody know the work of Chandler Stewart Bodyshop?

I'm discussing a 993 that's had a window out "restoration" carried out by them but no photo documentation of the process...... Has anybody used/ had experience of them?

We're they the Porsche Approved body shop sorry for the vague geographic description but about 4 o'clock on the m25
Dart ford type area?
If so they went bust about 2 years ago

Painted the bonnet & both sides of a993 for a customer of mine
Charged him £5000
When I saw the quality or lack of I, I ended up having it done again

Is there a decent Porsche approved body shop anywhere around the M25 or London? I've not come across one and used most of them over last 20 yrs for bits and pieces

in short NO!

I cannot name them at the moment, but lets just say the another Porsche approved body shop in Kent are dreadful.

Chandler Stewart did a fantastic job on the front of my Zanzibar GT3 - new side sills required and then wings and bonnet painted to match following a silly altercation with a two course brick wall - which impressed absolutely everyone who saw it. Ask Porsche Byfleet or 911V whi I sold it to. That was about four years ago so no indication as to what they are like now.

Depending upon what you want, you could do a lot worse than speak to the guy who runs Platinum Coachworks in Penge. The work he does is extraordinarily good and somewhat cheaper than some.................

I'd travel to Precision Porsche in Uckfield next to the Bluebell Railway. Always lots of top end cars in and they know Porsches very well

Try Bodytechnics - they are Porsche approved and did a good job on my 997 after a coming together with a wandering MPV. Based in Slough. http://www.bodytechnics.co.uk/index.htm

I used SL Restoration in Crawley, very impressed with the quality of the work and I am very fussy.

They carried out a full respray on a 944 turbo a few years ago and honestly a Columbian in a shed with a spray can could have done a better job than they did. Fecking dreadful

JAZ do a lot of stuff in Wembley, i haven't used them personally for bodyshop type stuff, but there is always a large collection of nice cars having work done. For the record, i have used them for many other bits and pieces and would recommend them.
