Recommendations for London for non OPC bodywork ?
Discussion
Some spanner in a 4x4 ran into the side of my pristine boxster s 550 whilst it was parked awaiting its first MOT on a side road and kindly did a runner. Can anyone recommend any indy shops that'll tackle porsche bodywork in London ? As the car is in GT silver I fear for my wallet at Porsche West London. Mind you I fear for my wallet in general there...
As and aside: Usually the car is kept safely garaged but the reason the car was parked on the road awaiting its MOT was that I had taken it to the local place (DTR in Mortlake) for a second opinion after the cowboys at PWL (yes I know they don't do the MOT themselves, its all independent etc.) gave me the old "you need new brake discs, they're all corroded" gambit. I don't want to the restart this thread all over again but guess the result of the MOT at DTR: first time pass, even with the big dent in the door !

Specialised Paintwork in Reading. I know its 'West of London' not 'West London', but they'll do a top job and Reading is only 25mins down the M4.

I talked to
1. Fast Lane - approx 3500 (via Porsche West London)
2. Charles Ivey - approx 2500
3. Specialised Paintwork - approx 1800
I went with Specialised not because of the cost but because of the staff there were friendly courteous, knowledgeable gave me confidence and didn't make me feel like they were trying to rip me off. They did the job in a week, and its fantastic. Can't recommend them highly enough.
