Well after over 2 years of ownership i have managed to prang the cerb went to Oxford in it today for a meeting as the weather was nice, just getting ont a dual caridgeway at witney and some twonk decided to stop in the first lane as i was checking mirror and blind spot to move into 2nd lane ran out of space and rear ended them, cracked bonnet and front slam panel luckily no mechanical damage so could drive it home although the bonnet was a bit flappy (more than usual), any suggestions on repairs in Lancs?, i have spoken to Track v Road and they send theres to some guys near the old factory that are meant to be good? has anyone had any dealings with them?

Sorry to hear of your misfortune mate. Can't offer any help on bodyshops in Lancs. Just condolonces for the Cerb frown
Glad you're ok though. Its only plastic and metal, and can be replaced.

Chin up dude.

I believe Surface & Design are around the old factory, in fact the last thing I heard was that they were using the bake ovens in the factory, but don't quote me on that.

Kevin AKA Gerbil was part of Surface & Design and as far as I can make out he painted just about every factory car!

I've no direct experience with the above co. and no involvement.

Thanks for the advice guys think i will try the guys at blackpool first, feel a bit more positive this morning, i was going to have a front end re-spray soon anyway so i spose by the time i pay the excess and increase in premium i should still be better off and not have any stone chips! the damage isnt to bad nothing bent only a bit of cracked fiberglass. one thing that amazed me was the ammount of smoke when i locked up and theres a big number 11 at the end of the slip road now!
