Looking for some recommendations for bodyshops in the West Mids (nearer to Coventry the better but I don't mind travelling a bit) please, I've used one before but the last job has taken quite a while so just seeing what others there are out there I've got a rear bumper which needs respraying a different colour  Anyone got any good recommendations? |

Hey Adam, Perfect Finish on Endemere rd were the best I found. Not cheap but flawless.

How much do you want to spend? I'd recommend Greg Howell AKA Southam Bodies in Southam. He can do some superb work and generally his turnaround time is fast! He managed to weld up 16 holes left over from the rollcage and repaint them in the RST (see the thread  in under a week. When I saw the progress part way through his work looked great. I could not complain. He wasn't cheap, but his prices seem to be comparable to other 'decent' bodyshops and from what an RR painter on here told me. His work does last as well. |

How much do you want to spend? A good question, as ever I want the work to be nice but I don't really want to be spending mahoosive amounts of money as the BMW is my daily and the rest of the paint doesn't really warrant having truly immaculate bumpers if you get what I mean  As a ball park, I think the front bumper is going to cost me about £160 once its done, but it was heavily covered in filler and has taken at least a month to get done.. I don't mind paying a bit more for a good job that can get done relatively quickly! Cheers for the suggestions, I'll try and get some ballpark quotes and see where I go from there  |
