AHHHHHH! scrached the Beast!

[stu 9thgate]

sick! iv scrached the love of my life, its about 8inch long and at least 1.5mm thick on the back wheel arch, above the rear cluster, going up to the boot. Im guessing its a respray for that pannel.
Can any-one recomend someone who can do a exellent job without ripping me an new poo hole.
I live in the lowestoft area and iv asked J Tuttle but he doesnt do waterbased body work.
Thanks for any help!

P.s. i did it puting on a car cover,
( well at least it was me and not the wife!)

Thats lousy luck, wonder if one of the cips away style companies might be able to sort it?

[stu 9thgate]

its possable but im looking for a recomendation rather than just going with the first one i see.
There must be someone who knows a exellent car/body repair guy near lowestoft.

Fellow PHer 'Tol' is Chipsaway near Ely and I can certainly vouch for his work. He's worked on both my cars and even lent me his so I could visit Ely while he did the work. So maybe make a day of it?

Hi Cous'

There's a chap in Yarmouth who's apparently very good, he did some panel work on a client's porsche and also did the respray on Chappells Dad's Cobra (very nice), will find a number for you.


As a note.

You'd be amazed at what can be polished out using fine grade papers and various 'specialist' polishes. May be worth posting a pic of the scratch and showing it to some of the guys in the detailing/bodywork section.

Edited to add, the place is called SMS Panelcraft 01493 652340, just mention you had a recommendation from David Thrower with the Cobra, and he'll sort you out.

Hey Stu - upload the pic to any photosharing site, flickr, picasaweb whatever. Then include in your post the string (pic)url(/pic) - but with square brackets "[" and "]" not "(", where url is the full http: address the photo has on your sharing site.
