Any local body/ paint shops recommended in or around Moray/ Inverness-shire, perhaps west of Aberdeen? Not for full resprays but good with dealing with the odd splitter, spoiler, making things fit, and so on? Regards, pm9575 |

I would also be interested in an answer for this, more Aberdeen mind you. I've got a Aero Dynamic bodykit still to be sprayed and fitted on my Z4. Graeme |

if u want the colour to match i wouldnt recommend alan murdoch my bonnet respray was horendous altho when i picked the car up it matched cos of the rain on it but once it dried out it was a totally different shade however i agree stephens experience was a good one but i think that may be down to friend of a friend to be honest ive tried 4 different paint/body shops in moray and been dissappointed with them all, however TJ paints fitted a bodykit for me and did quite a good job altho i fear the paint flaked off a little too easilly on the front bumper but the fit and finish was top notch ------------- Summer Project on its way...... |

| I bought a car from TJ, he gave it a coat of white and blue flick paint, the job was ok but I think he could have have done better. Maybe he was just being a bit rough because it was his own car. |

On the matter of bodyshops, does anyone know of a decent one around glasgow/ek - i have a light yellow 323ci coupe with a scuff on the rear wheel arch, drivers side (courtesy of some idiot who reversed into me in a carpark and left the car - no note or anything :-(, usual story, want a decent job but not got loads of cash to spend so cant afford dealer prices -------------
