Default good bodyshops that can replace a saph wing like new??

i twated a pot hole in my saph an moved the wing an flange slightly. does any one know of a bodyshop that can remove the old one an fit a new like they come standard thats in the midlands?? and wont rag the car around when they got it (well even if its not in the midlands might still be worth a shot if it aint to far and there reliable)

cheers skotie

I would recommend sytner bodyshop nottingham this is nothing to do with me working for sytner. but because the guy who runs the shop floor use to work with me at porsche the work will be 100% fit and finnish and quike turn around might be on the pricey side but you get what you pay for.

its bent it out as the rim is only 20 mm off the wing when on an when i hit the pot hole it bottomed out the sus an moved the wing back if they can pull it back id be happy as long as it looks like it never happened but ive been told by an old boy that it wont be done with out looking odd or making the other side as flared lol hes got 35 yrs experience so was gutted when he said he wouldnt touch it i was like wtf do i do now

difficult to tell from photo, i'm sure that could be repaired. problem with fitting a new wing is u'd have to blow the colour out across the door bonnet and possibly the front bumper.

Is it just me or is the pic he posted when it wasn't damaged?
