Not used them but some in the Audi forums say they are top notch and in Altrincham.

Thanks to all for the replies.

Considered Panel Care before, but then got put off by some of the remarks people had made  from the MK4 forum regarding the standard of some of the work. Although its still someone I would like to consider.

Will pop into Hanstons see how they quote also.

Thanks

Yes I remember there being bad comments. Jake now refuses to do anything for 'mates rates' for this exact reason. People wanted it done cheaply
And that's what they got.
