    Yeouch! More than what I could help out with anyway Barr. I'd recommend BodyImage in Ballincollig for a good job at a reasonable price.

    No worries Owen :) - I probably will have to get the back quater panel painted. Not as small a job as I first thought.

    After last winter's mayhem, with sizeable damage on the car, I tried several panel beaters for a realistic quote. I DID NOT have a good experience at Forge Hill, in fact I was told a lot of twaddle. After extensive searching I lighted on a Pat Cooney of Douglas Crash Repairs who did an excellent job at a fair price. I also considered another panel beater off Anglesea Stree [name escapes me just now], close to Canty's Garage who also offered a very reasonable deal, and it was a toss-up between the two.

    There is a user who often is in this forum called PaintDoctor who I thought was into this area of business. You could send him a PM - I heard he does a very good job though I have no personal experience.

    I own a Honda which I bought at J&P in Mahon. After I had an awkward prang including the plastic bumper and the metal skin, they pointed me to J. Hartnett in Travers street (4274440)
    They did a spot on job. Just a reccomendation.
