Now I'm using the Macan as a daily and whilst I'm not using the rs4 as much now I'm planning on giving the rs4 body work some attention. All four arches are suffering from bubbling...the front drivers side being the worst. I'm thinking it might need some new fabricated bits as it's looking like brand new arches are like hens teeth?

So I need to find a good body shop in the northwest/ Manchester who are good at fabrication if needed. I've had some pretty rubbish experiences with body shops in the past (who were meant to be really good). I am a bit of a perfectionist, but I feel my rs4 deserves to have people work on it who care for their work and my car.

Can anyone recommend a body shop?

I am considering Ninemeister. Has anyone used them for paint work?

Have you thought about wrapping the car? APM customs in Deeside did a great job on Range Rover Sport I had.

It's got a few bubbles in the paint that I'd like to get sorted.

I have seen an rs4 wrapped in a matt agate grey looking colour...looked very nice but only when clean. I prefer paint to a wrap though...colour is always deeper.

Thanks Rob...I had been considering them. Do you know if they are any good at metal fabrication? The front arch might need a bit as they are NLA from audi anymore :(

I was going to suggest Road and Race too, not sure about metal fabrication but they are very good.

Road and Race I've used twice now and both times have been excellent. Highly recommended. Yes, i do believe they carry out metal fabrication.
