I fear to recommend anyone to you incase:

a) They burn your car to the ground

or

b) You sue them

BUT

Gary @ GMS 01322 225376

He's painted my car, the wifes Cabriolet and her mondeo. Superb job on them all. Had mine painted a few years ago and still happy with it.

He's about 10 seconds from the Audi Esso garage at the Dartford Junction of M25 after tunnel.


Then again what about Damo? Dunno if he does it for a living or as a favour to Tony but the quality of that work is second to none.

Think Damo is not doing it as a living from the jist of his replies to the masses on Tony's thread, he should do tho, my S2 would be next in line
