Hi All, I wondered if anybody had experience of using a bodyshop in the Glasgow area for clamshell repairs and could reccomend them or if anyone had a blue front clamshell for an s1 in good condition ready to bolt on?
Thanks, Phil.

I have used Touch Ups in the past Phil with good results.

I've used these a couple of times. Near a train station... Or duct tape.

Having started the repair myself I have given the clam shell to touch ups who look to be doing a good job at the moment so thanks for the advice. One thing I did find when removing the clam was the riv nuts behind the front wheel started spinning, I was able to get the clam off using a rubber hammer as the holes were slotted but I'm going to have to deal with them again when I try and fit my freshly painted clam and I don't fancy using the hammer again. Can anyone direct me to a link showing how to fix this please? Thanks, Phil
