Angry Quality Body Repair needed near Coventry

Help fellow Italian car lovers

Mrs A pranged my Stilo replacement (Alfa 156) yesterday

Damage looks limited to the plastic side skirt & rear drivers side alloy wheel

She was manouvering out of a parking space in Swansea and nailed a high kerb. The skirt is split on the underside, there is a lot of deep scuffing, through the paint & into the plastic. The alloy wheel is also scuffed on the rim and on two of the spokes

I don't think the sill is damaged at all though!

I know you'll say "as long as she's alright" but the NHS would have fixed her for free and she ain't that beautiful anyway (unlike my car)

Regardless of cost, I want a top job done repairing it with minimal paint. I'd hope it could be done without removing the skirt but would rather not use somewhere like chips away as the paint is soft and damages easily afterwards

We're away for 3 weeks in Septmber so it might be a perfect time to get it done.

Anyone know of a top quality body shop / person in or around the Midlands that could do the repair At this stage, not sure if it's worth going through Chris Knott

Hi,

I am sorry I only have just noticed this post. If not yet sorted (or for future reference), Manhattan Motors in Earlsdon, Coventry are a top notch bodyshop. Their number is 02476673858.
