just got the car back this morning - absolutely stunning is the only word to use

and i'm bloody picky having been into detailing for quite a few years

J & R Bodyworks - Mansfield, Notts

www.jandrbodyworks.com

work done

a) upper tailgate stripped of all parts and resprayed - seams treated and waxoil injected
b) side vents colour coded
c) front grille colour coded
d) bonnet removed and resprayed
e) rust spots in wheel arches treated and resprayed
f) rear exhaust box stripped and sprayed matt black heat resistant paint
g) tow bar striped and resprayed satin black Hammerite


they reused the Range Rover lettering saving about £150

the paint is flawless - absolute mirror finish with not a trace of orange peel etc

this is without doubt the best body shop I have ever used!

main dealer wants to see the car on Monday as they need a good body shop for customers not requiring major/insurance work

will post photographs over the weekend

price - lets say it beat 'major' body shop by nearly £1K - for pricing in confidence please email me

update

car been to main dealer this morning who is amazed at the quality - he commented upon the superb colour match

as a result main dealer is going to use J and R Bodyworks

so pleased as a just reward for quality work

regarding the colour matching - been in this morning to get some touch up paint

they 'mix' their own - never realised how sophisticated it is!

to make up Tonga Green requires nine different 'pigments' - everything 'weighed' on very accurate digital scales

just done a couple of stone chips - cannot see them - and this was only using the 'cocktail stick' method

compared my 'made up' paint with LR aerosol/stick - they are way off

photo's later as I want to wash the car as its picked up some dust/dirt etc today
