Any recommendations for a good body shop in central Scotland ?
Looking to get all the dings fixed and the lorry damage and then a fully respray ?

@Claymore68 mentioned a bodyshop in Bathgate that did work on his 5th gen recently....

Im going to be calling round a few places in Edinburgh next week to get some quotes for fitting the arch repair panels and paint so could let you know how i get on.

This might not be much help, but Mitchell Inglis did some insurance work on a horrid Focus I had once and to my eyes seemed to do a decent job. They're just down the road from the Honda garage on the roundabout near Partick. When I say it might not be much help, it's because they're Porsche approved and I suspect not exactly cheap (Could be wrong). And because I know feck all about this stuff (Someone told me they have a good reputation, but...).

Andy the guys at Steve Walkers Bodyshop in Bathgate are amazing have a look at my pics on the profile my car looks like new.
I was told to go there by a mate who is RS daft and he wont go to anyone else. I got both rear arches done body kit boot lock rear quarter panel and both main structural jack points cut out and replaced .
Chuffed to bits honestly.

RM in East Kilbride are meant to be good

* I had done a bit of investigating when I was going down the respray route and this was the place I was going to go.
