Afternoon people, new member here. I wanted to colour code the top part of my Golf GTI MK5 rear bumper/diffuser. Can anyone recommend me a good bodyshop in or around London please. Thanks in advance.

Paying the cheapest price will no doubt end up with you having it done again and forking out more than if you had paid for someone who would have done it properly in the first place.

Trust me, don't skimp on bodywork/paint. If in doubt, ask to see examples /pictures of their work.

Not being funny, but London is a big place!

I wouldn't want to have to travel across London if a good body shop is round the corner.

What i'm trying to say is... Where are you located?
