Does anyone know of a good paint/bodyshop I could use for colour-coding bumpers and sideskirts?  Preferably in Leeds area, but will travel a bit further if you think it's worth it!

If there's anywhere you would recommend, or equally, anywhere you wouldn't send your worst enemy, let me know..

I'm looking to get front, rear and sides colour-coded.  I've got 'new' bits for front and rear but would probably just get the existing sides smoothed and painted..

Let's hear your thoughts.. the more the merrier please!  :happy2:

Cheers

Paul.

I went to panel care in rochdale because i heard they were really good and cheap and they got an exact match on my bumper about 40 mins away.
I heard moto craft in pudsey are very good.

Thanks for that.  Anyone else?  Come on, there must be some of you with tales to tell!

MP Autos in Wakefield. Every single car I have had has been to the bodyshop for one reason or another and it always goes to them. Martin (owner) and his team are spot on and really helpful. He once painted a wing on my car which looked spot on but he wasn't happy so asked if he could do it again when I was free. How goods that!

Only one I would use is Suffield Motors call Dave on 0113 285 2390, you'll have to take your car down for him to look at but its not far from you.

Have you had a lot done there and are they reasonably priced?

I'm in Gildersome, need a bumper scuff sorting out from the last owners. I was going to try http://scratchesnscuffs.co.uk down Whitehall Road, I'll try Suffield as well

I'm looking to get a bit of a custom job done on a rear GTI bumper. It has some parking sensors which need smoothing out, then going to get the exhaust cut out filled and the rest colour coded. Anyone who's posted in this thread know if their recommendation would do that kind of thing?

What sort of prices have people been getting quoted?

I want the skirts smooth and gloss black, rear bumper smoothed painted silver with exhaust surround gloss black and splitter painted silver and smoother with centre being gloss black?
