Bodywork - Langley Autocraft ?

[P6T]

Hello to everyone, I am new here although have owned Porsches for a while.

I currently have a 996 Turbo which got caught in a little accident, damaging the rear bumper. It looks like the plastic bumper is OK but the paint is scuffed and cracked. I am guessting that taking the rear bumper off and prepping and respraying will do the trick.

How much do you think it will cost to fix ?

Also, does anyone have any experience of Langley Autocraft near JZM in Kings Langley ?
Anywhere else you can recommend in Herts ?

Thanks for your help guys.

John

Hi
Although not in Herts, this guy is not too far away...up the M40 at Postcombe, his name is Anson Clarke and he runs Anson Clarke Coachworks www.accmoto.co.uk. Yesterday I picked up my 964, which has had a full respray including new wings and a door, the finish and attention to detail are spot on, i am well impressed with the result.
Regards Rick

Thank guys - so no one with any feedback on Langley Autocraft ?

Graeme - what did you use 911 Bodyshop for and how was thw ork, colour match etc ?

I've used them several times in the last 10 years with no problems, they do a nice enough job & have always priced very reasonably. I think one of the porche specialist dealers uses them for all there work.

I am planning on using these guys for some stone chips on my 997 gen 2 front bumper... Are they good?

They are down the road from JZM and do bodywork, MOTs and so on for them. I've used them to sort out a bumper before and couldn't fault their work. They certainly know their way around pork though - usually something interesting there whenever I have been in (all my GT3s MOTs were there).

I used them on my 964 when I had it. Pete, who did the work, has a 3.2 of his own, and know Porsches well.

Thanks guys, I am using him tomorrow on a bumper respray. I'll let u know how the work is on Friday.

Hi Ollie, what are they charging you, if you don't mind me asking?

Hi

Re Langley

I had my 993 windscreen replaced and some minor rust fixed. Did a good job and know what they are doing.

Pete has just got rid of the stone chips on the front pu (and a parking scuff that's been on there since I bought the car in 2005) - seems a nice job (though need the weekend to inspect it in minute detail ). Previously replaced the rear-arch stone guards and did a v. professional job. He's a Porsche enthusiast - has a smart-looking 993 of his own too now. JZM use him.

Berni,

Can I ask, was the rust related to the windscreen? was it on the windoscreen cowl in front of the bonnet. You can PM me with the answer if you wish to. Also, what kind of costs were involved?

Hi there,

I binned my old 996 C2 in the barrier on the A41 bypass a few years back (novice I know, sorry) and Langley AC did a great job repairing the bodywork in conjunction with some input from JZ Machtech. I also recently test drove a silver 964 that they had repainted and, whilst I'm far far from an expert, it looked excellent to my eyes. I think a lot of people trust Jonas at JZM and he recommends them highly.

That's all I have.

Cheers

So used Pete on my front bumper and he has done a brilliant job! Will def use again!
