Bodywork Repair
 

I need to get the slam panel and inner wing repaired on the CQ so I can get it back on the road, can anyone recomend a good body work person (in Towcester - Northampton) but willing to travel a bit to get someone who knows what they are doing and can do a good job.

This is what I need sorting out....

Any good recommendations?

I would suggest my mate who lives in Souldrop, but not sure if he's worked on anything that new and modern as he mainy works on Commer Vans and slamming VW's on the deck. His bug is on the cover of this months Ultra VW, the one that's 7mm off the floor (it was also at Stanford Hall!) I'll have a word tomorrow cos I know he'd sort out a good mates rate if he could do it :tup:

Ta very muchly :tup:

I couldn't swear to it from just the one picture, but I suspect it isn't that bad. If it was near me (too far from you unfortunately - South coast, nr Portsmouth) I'd be confident about getting that sorted easily enough.
Have you got a straight bonnet and a replacent wing ?
If you take off the bumper and the damaged wing, you should be able to see quite easily how much straightening is needed. You'd know when it was right when the wing and bonnet line up and go from there.

At least with an Audi (and anything German), you're working with quailty.
Plenty of decent brand seam sealer and underseal and job's a good un.

An experienced panel beater once told me to imagine watching a video of the damage as it happened, but in reverse, that's the order in which you're supposed to straighten any dents.

good luck with the repairs m8
