Unluckily for me I had probably one in a million accident happen to me yesterday when I was waiting to join the M25 at a roundabout, I heard a bang, looked around but saw nothing then noticed a metal wheel trim spinning to a halt a few cars in front of me. I had to move off with the traffic but when I pulled over saw that the trim had scythed down the side of my car taking pieces of paint down to the primer with it in 5 or 6 area's on the passenger door and in a couple of other places

.
So, does anybody know a decent paint shop in the Reading or Henley area (UK)? My car is Gt Silver so whoever it is will need to be good with metallics.
thanks
Keith

I think you'll get more traction/interest in this UK forum.

Suggest You Contact Richard Singleton at Porsche GB HeadQuarters Reading - (Ask for Him In Service) If Porsche GB Don't Know Anyone in the Reading Area........... Nobody Will..........!

Alternatively for a Check Quote - Ask NorthWay Porsche - Opposite Aldermarston Railway Station (Ray Northway) to Find out Who They Use................

Good Luck

Thanks, if I hadnt had luck on the forums Ray would have been my next call but have had a few very positive suggestions for Specialist paintwork in Reading and Mark at Stirlings contacted me about a good guy in Guildford, so Im feeling better. Now have to rub the credit card genie....

We have our own bodyshop that could carry out the repairs no problem.

Perhaps a reduced rate for a Cayman Club member

Autofarm Projects Dept

We can also collect and deliver the car as well.

Regards,

Robin

I managed to get my car sorted by Specialist Paintwork in Reading when I was on holiday so came back to find the little beauty back to normal. They did a great job as predicted by a number of people and I can highly recommend them, Karl is a smashing bloke to deal with too.
