So got my Aero back from the Bodyshop a few days ago, and to say I cannot stop smiling would be an understatement.
It is absolutely Stunning.

As a bit of history, it had 2 rotten front wings, all 4 door bottoms were a mess. Rear Spoiler was peeling all over the place, and the drivers rear arch had pretty much disappeared due to rust.

As with everything these days I was on a tight budget, but at the same time wanting the best quality for the price I could afford. I managed to obtain 2 very good wings from members on UK Saabs, 1 of which was almost as new. And the Rear Arch panels are courtesy of Saabits.
After much research, and taking advice from Pistonheads members I selected "T&W Motors" of Reading to do the job.
www.carbodyrepairsberkshire.co.uk 0118 975 3478 twmotors.car@gmail.com

I met with the main Bodyshop guy there "Wojtek", and went through in detail what I wanted doing.
I thought I was asking a lot really given the budget I was on, but this guy is a master in his work !.
I stopped by one day last week to cheekily check up on my car to find that they were working on the entire doors, not just the bottoms. He pointed out that there were tiny dents / blemishes in the upper doors and it would ruin the look of the car if he did not correct them.
I did not even know they were there !!, and I would like to think im a bit of a perfectionist.

So they fitted all the parts, Welded in the new Rear Arch panels, and fully sprayed both sides of the car. So only the roof and Bonnet have not been done. But its all blended so well you would never know.
The rear arch panels are the most impressive, I was expecting to see at least a small blemish, but it is totally perfect and you would never know the arch panels had been welded in.

Im one happy chap, and many thanks to T&W Motors for doing such a brilliant job.

Absolutely stunning. How much did that set you back roughly? Would like similar for my 9-5 one day.

Wow, it looks fab. My Anni is a bit shabby. Sometimes I think about keeping it 'long term' but the cost of a paint job deters me. As asked above, how much did the work cost if you don't mind my asking?

Well the price was heavily discounted, as I have agreed to do some work for them.
But it should have been around the £2,100 mark.
