    sorry to hear about this, best thing you can do is make sure you have plenty of pictures of how it landed where it came from etc, and keep the offending felt too. as for a body shop how badly scratched is it ? will dig out the good body shop thread in the sottish forum on piston heads for you.

    Sorry to hear than Stoney...

    if it's any use (although it is a bit of a trek) Burgoynes of Airth are very good, thats who I would use in the area. I think ScottieDoop would also recommend them and we all know how picky she is...

    hope you get it sorted soon.

    I need a new windscreen because some wtat in a Yaris decided to drive at 60mph when they'd just resurfaced the road. If I'd a caught him it wouldn't have just been his windscreen that needed replacing.

    There's a bloke in Strathaven who did my door a few years back when a prat reversed into it - that would be handier for you. Don't have his number on me just now, but can get it if you're interested.
