A nice person at heathrow decided to ignore their parking sensors and use my Tuscan as the guideline . Unfortunately they broke it and didn't leave a forwarding address.

As you can see, it's not a disaster but needs some careful attention. Any suggestions of a good body shop nr Cambridge (50-100 mile radius) gratefully appreciated.

Without wanting to cast doom and gloom over preceding that will probably be worse than it looks I'm afriad.

That is exactly what someone in a Volvo did to my car and although I'd suggest they got more of the rear wing on mine than on yours the damage looks superficial because the fibreglass will have 'sprung' back out.

In my car the damage spread right up inside the rear arch (hidden by the flexible blck paint) and there was a huge amount of crazing hidden behind the carpet in the boot. Make sure then that any repair you get isn't just a 'surface fill and dust over' or you will get cracking and crazing later.

Hilton coachworks in B/Stortford.
And I second the fact it's likely to be a LOT worse under the paint than it initially looks.

You could also try Carizma at Melton Mowbray - bit further but they did a really god job on my old Chim.
