My drivers side rear arch is rusty and needs attention before FCS. I took the car to an insurance approved body shop in Bedford that I have used before when some kind French woman drove into my old Mondeo and they did a superb job. They said the best thing was to replace the whole rear quarter with a new on.
Also i asked them to quote me to sort some dents on the drivers door which have been reaired before but very badly in my opinion. So basically they would be spraying the whole drivers side of the car. The problem is they want £1200 excluding VAT to do the work!!! Obviously this is far more than i'm willing to pay.
Is it completely nessecary to replace the whole rear quarter? Can anyone recommend a good Bodyshop in the Bedfordshire/Bucks/Herts/Cambs area??
