I've owned my 993 for 5 years now. The time has come to address some body work areas. Nothing very major at the moment but the sooner the better I feel. So I need to sort the lower edges of the wheel arches, a bubble on the drivers side sill and then potentially a front end re-spray with wing mirrors.

Can anyone recommend a Berkshire based organisation to sort the above? I'm already aware of Specialised Paintwork.


Many thanks.

Hi, might be worth speaking to joel at rsj sports cars as he is based in berkshire so should be able to recommend one.

Northway are fantastic, just outside Theale near Reading.

I didn't use them in the end but these guys were very helpful and had a good reputation when I asked around:

We had the Mustang done by F.H.Ellis near Fleet. It's basically a proper panel beating, fabrication and painting place (there was metalwork and body kit fitting to do on the car as well). As far as I'm aware they do simple paint jobs on 'nice' cars as well.

Not cheap but great finish and top quality work all round

ETA Just seen it was Berkshire, I read it as Hampshire! Still worth knowing as it isn't a million miles away

They don't - all their work goes to Ty at http://www.excelcarbodyrepair.co.uk/contactus.aspx... in Reading.

I put my GT3 in over the summer for a front-end respray to remedy all the stone chips and was very pleased with the quality & attention to detail.

They dont, but they use a clown outfit in the same estate as themselves.

DO NOT GO THERE. The owner is a nasty piece of work and the work man ship is really poor.

You can PM me for information if required.
