Hardtop re-spray South Manchester

Postby Leafo » Wed Feb 26, 2014 2:24 pm

Hi there

I was just wondering if anyone could recommend a sound and reliable body shop in South Manchester that can do a respray on my hardtop. I know autoline and mx5city offer these services and they come highly recommended but I just wondered if anyone could recommend a garage a bit closer to home... Chorlton.

Any advice much appreciated

:idea: :confusion-confused:

Might be worth considering given the cost of a few cans..... if it doesn't work out it can go to a paint shop! Maybe in the summer when it is off the car. In the meantime its MOT time tomorrow.... fingers crossed...
