top quality painter / repair needed on rear bumper

[1tjh]

Hi, I've been stupid enough to scrape the rear bumper on my albi blue 197 and now need to get it repaired (there's a slight crack too). I'm ultra fussy so need a top quality repair. does anyone know of a good repairer in the Berkshire or Hampshire area? (or potentially further as I'm prepared to travel).
I've also seen Sprayshack mentioned on here - has anyone used them and know if they're any good?
Cheers.

I can 100% recommend Little Knocks in Wokingham who have recently repainted my GW 200 wing/bumper at a very good price and in the past a black 3-series conv. It looks brilliant, given how hard white is to match. You will need to go along and have them quote but they are very reasonable. My job came to £187 to give you an idea.

Also recommended others who have had theirs done there (fezza 360, numerous BMWs and a Mini!).

Thanks for the reply. I've had a look at their website and it looks like a smart repair place rather than a bodyshop or am I reading it wrong? I've had smart repairs done before and not been impressed with the results. I'd rather pay a bit more to get a bang on result - it needs to be as good as the original paintwork.
Cheers.

I know its not where your after, but Body&Tuning in Mansfield Woodhouse do all my paint work, and IMO their work is top notch!

Well I'm a fussy bugger myself (trust me) and so are my friends and wouldn't have recommended them otherwise. If my job was sub-standard, I'd have been back like a shot. They specialise in Smart repairs but my recent respray bearing in mind it is GW was 100% spot on,I've looked at it in daylight and it looks like new.. I wouldn't have recommended them to my mate who has a 360 if they didn't do an excellent job.

A Renault body shop would have charged me in the region of £500 for the job I had done and I dare say wouldn't have been any better.

Would I take my GTS there? Yes I would

Cheers

ok thanks Clewsey, I had to ask and it's good to get that kind of a reassuring response! I've just been stung before and don't want to take any chances.
cheers.
