Only one place you need to go:

Tayside Auto
40 Perrie Street
Lochee
Dundee
DD2 2RD
01382 612580

Best in the business IMO. Did a fantastic job on my old Elise when it needed a touch up and minor repair.

ETA: ah, noticed you wanted ABZ, feel free to ignore me! :) (but it'd be worth the drive down to Dundee for the quality of the job you'd get)

http://www.kinghornbodyshop.co.uk/ have some high-end motors passing through. Not used them personally, but I did some Googling for a respray and they get good reviews. Approved repairer for some top brands.

From what I've heard they are fairly pricey but I might pop in past for a quote.

Yep, that. They were a good bit more than the other quote we got last year for bit of bodywork repair. They might have thought it was an insurance job though so weren't holding back with new parts etc.

Castle park in Ellon, they do a lot of Lotus cars around here and Alan used them for painting his car. Top job and not expensive.

King horn are excellent. Mate of mine has had his rs4 there a few times. They are horrifically expensive though. I got a quote for some work to my rs6 and for the price I could have damn near bought another rs6! :mrgreen:
