911 Bodyshop - I would highly recommend calling Chris on 0208 900 0572
and having a chat with him. Feel free to mention my name. I was initially sent
to
911 Bodyshop by JZ Machtech and I know that JAZ also recommend them (it helps
that 911 and JAZ are next door to each other). Jonas told me that a lot of race
car work is done there as they need to be sure that stuff like chassis straightening
is done millimetrically perfect for proper alignment settings etc. Apparently
race car owners have this level of confidence. Richard B
TYRES and WHEELS
SEM in Sunderland - 0191 5480617 - I have had my D90's refurbished twice, once when I got the car 5 yrs ago and about 2 months ago. Had all four done for £30 / wheel + VAT they even did my colour crested centres, carefully removed badges painted and replaced badges - wheels are absolutely perfect. When first done they were badly corroded and had been kerbed - this was sorted out all in the price . Wheels are sandblasted and powder coated. The only reason for having them done a second time was damage - leading to corrosion from having several tyre changes by less than competent fitters! I believe Paul R has also used them and was happy with results. Regards Ivan 1990 S2
Micheldever Tyres, Winchester, Hants - 01962 774437 (well recommended by several Members)- one problem with damaged rims, but subsequently put right entirely satisfactorily
GT-One (address above) - They were very close to Micheldever's prices (they encouraged me to check)and I have every confidence in Craig and Peter to fit tyres on their new fitting machine - esp when I saw the plastic/ceramic (I think) lever needed for alloy wheels. Regards Alex D

You can email him on: totalcooluk@hotmail.com or phone him on 07765 257844. Am glad to recomend him. Consider he is a Porsche enthusiast and that he is not trying to rip you off. You can also ask Mario, who has met him personally. Charges about £50 for a regas, bargain! Plus, he'll first test for leaks and only if there are none obvious he'll then gas you up. Tell him I sent you. Ricco
