Any good crash repair places for minis in Dublin?

Post by 92Coop »

Got whacked up the trunk earlier in the Phoenix Park. Some fella in a 3 Series Coupe was busy adjusting his seat massager settings or something and whacked straight into the back of me.

Need to get a couple of prices and was wondering if anyone knows of any 'classic friendly' places near Dublin.

Damage not too bad i reckon. Needs some straightening out, but the subframe and boot floor appear to be ok...

:roll:

And I said, Officer, I didn't want to be drunk in public...I wanna be drunk in the bar. Now last time I checked it was still legal to be drunk in the bar. They threw me into public...arrest them!

Sorry to see that, i was admiring it at the autojumble.
good pal of mine runs a really pro shop in Kill co. Kildare
he has my city at the moment, pulling the front driverside and fitting new inner wing
pm me and i will give you his details.
he produces the best paint finish i have ever seen
Is it a coincidence that mini and money start with the same letter? 'cause if you have the first you sure better have lots of the other

Before I saw this car a couple of years ago, I wasn't a Clubman fan.

However this one changed all that. In my eyes the most beautiful example I've seen (love the pic of it with Robs (sadly now dead) black VTEC Clubman).

If you ever ever ever ever ever ever are stupid enough to sell it, please contact me lol :mrgreen:
