treblet Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 He did most of the plastic welding work himself from memory so I doubt he'll be much help on that front.As for paintwork and other bodywork, ask your mates who they have used, visit the body shops and cast an eye over their work to see if it meets your standards. It's one think being told a body shop are good, it's very different seeing it for yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lupo_gg Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 (edited) To be quite honest bud there probably ain't many places that would take this kind of work on mainly cus it takes time and time to smooth n blend plastics and labour costs cud escalate, it's ok getting it done cheap but chances are the blends will crack quickly, I use to work for a Bodyshop in S****horpe called MSM vehicle refinishers theses boys have done alot of custom work in the past and had alot of mag features but aren't cheap Hope iv helped in anywayGaz Edited October 9, 2010 by lupo_gg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaunandez Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 You need to speak to Timmy Plastic at True paintworks in Leicester. He did the bumpers on this months PVW cover car and also did Russ Whitefields mk2 (C4RBD) He specialises in plastic welding and smoothing. His work is top notch!
