Castle Sports Cars (Hilton & Moss) are pretty good and have done several nobles recently. My mate works there. They are near Stevenage. They do Lotus too, so excellent at fibreglass.

if its going through the insurance surely you are entitled to a new clam not a repair as insurance companies normally replace not repair why should you accept it being repaired!! and you might find they will write it of due to cost of the parts to repair and you then have an option to buy it back!!just a thought.

I have a mate in Worthing that can sort you out, he is a wizard with glas fibre and carbon fibre. He has just started in his own so will be nice and competative with cost.

Let me know if you want his number and I'll mail it to you

new clams etc are available from factory but you have to go through a dealer to buy!!from memory a new rear clam is around £2000 ish +vat maybe a bit more hope you get it sorted i am pretty sure the insurance company may think it not economical for them to repair due to exhaust damage you mentioned and other things that may need to be replaced also they take into account car hire costs while car is being repaired etc etc.

[wessexrfc]

If it were me I'd go for a full respray, make sure you get a perfect colour match.

[steveobes]

Iv got this feeling this is gonna cost me, but your right may have to get full respray
to get paint to match exactly

[andygtt]

New rear clam is 2.5k from noble, still available I believe and in stock when I enquirer a year ago.

However I ended up making my own lol
