Car door keyed, looking for a bodyshop in West London

[SJ997]

Unfortunately one of the doors of my 997 has been keyed. Mark is deep, catches fingernail etc, too big for SMART repair.

Looking for a well trusted shop to put it right, hopefully SW London but suggestions welcomed for anything around. If anyone has a recommendation I'd be really grateful.

I have spoken to Tom at 911V who suggested AutoBodyTechnic and I've done some searching on here but not found a definitive suggestion yet.

Thank in advance!

Just had the rear bumper on my 996 resprayed by Merton Crash Repairs. I can recommend them. I have a friend who runs a showroom and he put me onto them. He uses them all the time.

Thank you, Smollet - will give them a call.

When you say it can't be smart repaired how do you know?

I only ask because mine was keyed on Friday, can't be polished out but i thought a chips away type place could do it without the need for the whole door to be done.

Scratch is a foot long.

I contacted two smart repairers (one being Chips Away) and sent them photos/descriptions - they told me it couldn't be done via that method because of the location (above door handle, gets a lot of light) and it would likely need to have the door resprayed and blended into the rear-quarter panel.

My damage is about 20-25cm.
