Ice White Socks 0 Posted August 15, 2003 Chris- My VR is going in for a part respray at a place called J&B coachworks in houghton le spring. Its booked in for 16th september. I can get a price for you if you want when I drop ma car off :D . Otherwise I'll let you know how it looks Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrishill 0 Posted August 17, 2003 Thanks for the offer macca, not saying your mates not good, but I'd rather use a bodyshop.....just paranoid! J&B sounds worth a try if you're getting yours done there it must have been a decent quote. I'll pay them a visit, cheers ice white socks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
macca 0 Posted August 17, 2003 chrishill Take your point chris, this guy is really good a perfectionist, he has done some top notch work in the past, I'm hoping he will do my car. The last twice I used body shops, (small garages) they were booth shit jobs, I then decided to spray my own cars after that. I dont like 2 pack paints for the H&S side of things, would rather pay some one else now. Hope you get a good job done as theres nothing wosre than them rolling out your car, and been disapointed, been there. Cheers Guy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ice White Socks 0 Posted August 17, 2003 Chris- I should have mentioned that its going in for insurance work so it may not be the cheapest place around :oops: . I would like to hear how you got on tho :) . Cheers Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tonytiger 0 Posted March 24, 2004 Can anybody recommend any bodyshops in the Darlington area? Would travel a little further afield if necessary but would prefer not to. At the moment I'm just looking at getting the front bumper resprayed (following an incident with a paperboy & bike :mad: ) but will probably want other bits doing soon too. Anyone know how much a bumper respray is likely to cost from a decent place? And how good a match should it be possible to get on burgundy pearl?

stevemac 0 Posted March 24, 2004 If you guy's are impressed with the service & workmanship (or if you think they're c**p) let me know & I'll update the "reccommended garages" section of the forum. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
