Hi all

 

Just wandering I have been mooching around lots of forums and it seems to me RT is the best place however it's really out the way for me. I'm just wandering anywhere else people have got there body kits, spoilers or front lips fitted.

Closer to the region of West Midlands but will to travel about 100miles out from Birmingham :).

I'm just looking at front lip, side skirts, rear bumper and a spoiler at the moment but wandering who could spray and fit it for me?

 

I haven't got the kit yet I'm just doing some research ready for when I get the money together I can get it done Asap.

 

Thanks

Guys :)

RT is worth the trip wherever you are based. Plenty of forum members have travelled there from distances. Its a 2 hour trek for me but I am a regular visitor. Top place and top work.

Ask for Will at TGM in Fleet, again a fair distance but they do fantastic work, and you can have a nose around the motorsport cars they run when you drop the car off ;)

 

I would also factor in costs for 'fitting' the bodykits, very few it seems fit perfectly and require some element of work to reshape to the car.

BeefyZ - Hope you don't mind me crashing in on your thread - I am also after a Bodyshop near ish to Banbury.

 

I reckon with 75 miles, I am after getting my VW Corrado fully resprayed and want to be able to visit it fairly regularly during its time in a Bodyshop hence needing it closer.

I think restorers are perhaps more the thing I am after due to 4 small bits of rust that need treating.

 

BeefyZ - I am visiting Manhatten Motors in Coventry on Saturday who have been recommended, I will let you know how I get on.

 

I have also visited C&N Customs in Middle Aston, Oxfordshire OX25 5PP 01869 349080 again recommended - who are currently one of the contenders for the work on my car.

They came out to me to quote and then I visited the workshops unannounced, very good customer service and appear like they have huge care to detail. I would visit them.

Near banbury I would reccomend Southam Bodies - in business for over 20 years and top notch guys (2 of them), done many show cars in past years and now they finished their own old school Porsche - and it looks amazing!

I think i will be taking my car there to get "fixed" after "CAR Specialist" ruined it.

Thanks guys for the information but I did carry on looking through forums and it does seem that a large percentage took there to RT so I am stuck in a pickle really!

 

For those who are getting there work done near by to the Midlands area let me know how you get on if you don't mind? :)

 

Cheers fellas, for those who have got the work done locally to the Birmingham area how do you rate there work from 5/10? Daft question as you wouldn't be suggesting them if they didn't do a great job but it's so I can get a rough idea because I know a lot of people would rate RT above 10/10 by the sounds of things and it's a tough one. Thinking I should bite the bullet pay lots of money and have it done by RT.
