    Cheap body shop in South London

    I need to get rid of my old car (2001 Seat Ibiza) but it has a bit of rust (paint has fallen off - 4 sq inches) on the rear arch which could do with being sorted before I sell it. So I'm looking for a cheap but good body shop which could sort it out. Any suggestions? Or should I just sell it as is?

    Thanks in advance

    I imagine in London your best bet would be a man in his van. To save on overhead costs. But they do say sell your cars looking as honest as possible.

              I bought the car from a fella in the midlands just over a year ago, but i was in new romney bank holiday weekend...

              The woman creased my rear offside wheel arch, and bumper and wheel, i am having that work done, and i am also having a new front wing fitted (genuine) and im having the front and rear bumpers done, washers deleted from front bumper, both wings sprayed and the bonnet and the offside doors blended to new paintwork

                      I was the same. I have a V6 bumper ready to be painted and fitted, but as it will become an S2 Saloon soon I want the washer jets. I have bought some and am just playing with the idea of both options

                        interesting!

                        maybe i should visit this guy too.
                        i picked up a bump to my rear slam panel (while ago), wings are starting to rust and the paint/ stonechips are generally shocking.
                        live in thurrock, (drove past tonbridge today on my travels back from bexhill. works van.)
                        good luck
                        s.e. hangout could be worth thinking about.
