Front clam bodywork repairs near central belt area

Hi guys
After 4 years of sitting in my garage my S2 is going to get fixed. The nose of the front clam needs repaired as its had a reasonable impact. Behind the number plate its broken all the way through. Where should I take it to get it repaired? I'll be paying for it myself so its not an insurance job. I'll be removing the clam and taking it to get repaired. Dont mind driving further to get a good job, especially if it means getting it done cheaper
oh and next question will likely be about getting rusty bolts off when removing the aforementioned clam
Cheers

My S1 is in at Willowbrae via Murray's at the minute. Worth getting them to quote, you might be pleasantly surprised.

Worth giving Jamie Mullen in Portseton a call he did a great job on my pearl brown passat the other week! Very reasonable and has done a tonne of Lotus work too, did front and rear clam on a red111R for me and you'd not know it'd been touched, great guy and great service, dropped and collected my car in the evenings well worth the journey!

My regular repairer is Steve Walker Bodyshop, Bathgate. Always my first response but I'm aware Willowbrae are often highly thought of too.

I'm always one for recommending Protek Bathgate after the job they did on the Europa,

Never needed the bodywork repaired so afraid that I can not recommend anybody.

Brilliant guys, plenty of choice then! Lets see if the clam fits in my A6, may be a squeeze.
