Bodyshops?
Posted: Mon Mar 21, 2005 1:03 pm
Hi Folks,
Following my shunt from behind last week, I thought I'd nip out to Kinghorn at Blackburn for a quote, under the impression that they were still the only place in Aberdeen that would do these sort of cars. Was told they no longer touch VXs or Elises, as they're a "pain." The chap said that Lotus were a pain to work with in terms of getting parts etc. but I also get the feeling that he was inferring our cars are a pain to work on too.
Anyway, he recommended taking it to JM on St Machar Drive (the Belmont bodyshop) who then refer it to a Lotus specialist in Perth. Does anyone know anything about this specialist? Or can anyone recommend a bodyshop in the Aberdeen area? I want, and believe the damage merits, a new clamshell fitted, not a fibreglass repair.
Cheers,
Lee
