Anyone recommend anywhere to get this repaired:

Some b@5t@rd must have reversed into me and done a runner :evil:
Only cosmetic damage - cracked about 3 inches on the front clam and a bit of scuffing surrounding it.
Thinking I'll take it to MMC, but open to suggestions.

MMC get all of their work done at Willowbrae Coachworks so I'd just take it directly there

I had some insurance work done at Willowbrae recently, Martin is the key guy who is always busy but still manages to deal with everything. I also got a quote from Protek in Bathgate who seemed more interested than Steve Walker just round the corner but I decided to go with Willowbrae and I'm pleased with the job.
Probably Jamie in Prestonpans who does a few Elise's could do a cheaper job dependant on what you are looking for. PM me for more details if needed.

A quick update:

Got the car back from Willowbrae on Thursday night. Today's been the first chance I've had to check it out properly and all I can say is WOW!
Big :thumbsup to Martin at Willowbrae. Sound guy and did his best to keep the price down. I ended up getting the front clam resprayed as there were a few stonechips and small scratches. Also got the Defendall replaced.
Here's the finished result:

Thanks everyone for the recommendations

Here's hoping no-one else reverses into it now! ...(had mine reversed into this summer too; less damage; still to be fixed)
