Irish Mini Owners Club

Howdy folks, had a bad day yesterday. My girlfriend took the mini to the shops last night when I was at work and while waiting for a space some taxi driver reversed out into her. At first glance she thought it was just a scrape, refused his details and sent him on his merry way. Had a look this morning and found three nasty dents on the front drivers side wing on two seperate panels, headlamp pushed slightly out of place and a broken arch. Paint has cracked on one as well so will need a respray on top of a beating. Anyone know a tried and trusted panel beater who's familiar with minis? Any idea how much generally this type of thing costs? Would it be cheaper to buy a new panel and spray it myself? Cheers.

where are u based? one of the lads in the western region, simon reilly, has done alot of the cars for the other members, has a mini himself, and is a full time panel beater, top class work all the time

085 7292846 is his number
