Just wanted to pick your brains…
Who would you recommend for a full respray/repair in the above areas? I know about Essex Autosport and I’m waiting for them to come back to me but anyone else you guys would or wouldn’t put your name to?
Cheers…Bobby
Just another recommendation for EA. Wayne and the boys at Essex respeayed my front clam a few years ago and did a great job. I think they also did Shrek which is mint.
Alternatively BOT wrapped my car about a year ago and it still looks great.
Just about to ask i would like to respray the front as there are few stone chips, any good shop recommend near Manchester? Cheers
Sam
EA is a great place, they have done paint work on all my Lotus over the years, very good service, not the cheapest but the best for lotus work they really know there products 
Steve William Lotus, wrong side of london but worth a trip to:
Any other recommendations guys? As I’ll be making a decision in the next ten days.
It can be in the London vicinity or Northants/Herts/Bucks too…
Cheers 
Just to carry on from my last post, I’ve been to Steve Williams and Jez @ BoT, so it’s a choice out of both guys…
Any opinions? Apart from Tim
who owns the liquid yellow S1? Didn’t BoT do that one?
Mark aka 5oclock, and yup that was done by them. I know about the issue on the curing time…
Jez is an all round top bloke who has a looong history with our cars. I’ll probably be seeing him in the next few days to sort out a new ZZR.
Likewise SWLotus also have a great rep and Tim’s car is testament to the skills of their bodyshop.
I don’t think there’s a wrong answer between those two matey.
If you are going for a full respray then distance should not be a factor imho.
Totally agree with all your comments.
I’ve met Jez a few times now and having now met Steve he seems to be a knowledgable top man too.
There is a difference in cost and ultimately this may become a factor…as much as I want the best possible job doing.
Yup Jez is a top bloke, spoke to him this morning. My new ZZR and guy to come to me and fit it sorted,…job jobbed,result 
Just to update this thread, car was dropped off this Morning with Steve…I look forward to the results at the end of May
cool, look forward to seeing the new colour
Things are progressing…
Good news! Are you staying Chrome Orange?
Sure am Ben. Sadly can’t chuck a SC CC Honda in there just yet!
If its a keeper there’s plenty time mate!
Look forward to seeing it, I saw Muu at the weekend and we were thinking we should have a Southerners tyre-kicking session one summer evening.
I’ll certainly be up for that, be good to see Tim’s car in the flesh too.
