Looking for a local body shop to respay my TVR in the same colour just to give it a tidy up. Its had a very hard life and now needs some tlc.
I am based in Bracknell but anything local would be a bonus.

Hi Peter
I used C&S Coachworks at Liphook to reseal my headlamp lenses.
Fernhurst's used to use them for all of their paintwork jobs so fully aware of fibreglass work but believe they now go elsewhere.
I found C&S to be very good and went out of their way to keep me informed and happy with what they were doing as my little job turned into a bit more than what was initially perceived.
Not only that they stood by the quote they gave me.
Neil

go to Lemass in Ricksmansworth, bit of a trek but not too bad.

Or Lewis Mcauley has a small bodyshop , have a look on Facebook, young lad, very good.

Riviera, Grazeley Green near Reading. Plenty of experience with fibreglass and best paint job I've had by a mile (and I was already happy with the paintwork I'd had elsewhere before).

Sorry Neil got them confused with Liphook Coachworks when talking to a guy at work.
Will try them next week and see what they say.

I'm also thinking of having the front end and mirrors resprayed as they're a bit stone chipped after 18 years. What sort of cost do people think I should be expecting for this?

My 106 XSi project is currently with Claremont Coachworks:

http://www.claremontcoachworks.co.uk/

Have a look at pages 11 & 12: https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

Can't recommend them highly enough.

If you give them a call, ask for Will and tell them that Dom with the Peugeot said to call (it's still there) and I'm sure he'll sort you out smile
