Body Kit Repair Recommendations

[quasitam]

I recently had a family friend nudge my front bumper and damage the skirt on my R34 GTT >:| So heart breaking. Anyway, thankfully I think it can be reasonably easily re-attached (one of the mounting points is broken) and patched up (minor scrapes only).

Can anyone recommend a repair shop that would do a small job like this? I know there is the business listing thread but it seems a lot of places are no longer around, and also I'd like to take it where others have had a good job done and good service.

Any suggestions appreciated! Will take it anywhere in Perth that does a good job.

If u have a fibreglass bodykit and your car is low, I recommend raising it up if you are going to be worried about scratches and chips.

It's just the nature of the beast, they will get chewed up on every speed hump or dip in the road.

It will cost u a fortune if ur pedantic about it.

-my 2c, -as far as panel n paint I dunno! If u find someone good let me know I've still got a car sitting here needing paint for over 12 months now

I ended up getting it fixed at West Perth Panel and Paint, because it is near by my work. I just popped in there and they offered to do it that day. They did a tidy job re-attaching the skirt and polishing out the scrape and I am happy with their service.

I had another small scratch on the skirt they brush touched, though I was thinking it could have done with some sort of filler first (since the paint layers removed are still obvious). However, I do expect to get a few more of those kind of scratches - the nature of track days - so I am not too concerned.

Thanks for the recommendation Stagea_wa - I will keep a note about Manny's in case I ever need some help again (hopefully not, of course!)

if your looking for someone to paint as cheap as possible i'd recommend going to big jobba, wangara. My clear coat was peeling off from the roof towards the pillars due to the previous owner most likely attempting to do a home job. I got 4 different quotes and he did it significantly cheaper!
