Default Body Repairs

Hi,

I am new to the forum and XJS ownership. I have just unfortunately rear ended a delightful chap in a BMW at slow speed. No damage to the Beamer but bonnet damage to Cat.
I live in Bromley, Kent. Can anyone recommend a quality repairer, I am also going to take the opportunity to extend the work to some of the little jobs that need doing. Most notably securing the sound deadening mat to the underside of the bonnet.
Any advice would be most welcome.
Best

Rick

Rick, welcome to the Forum. Stick your model details on your signature line, as that saves a great deal of confusion should you ask a car-specific question. I cannot help with the body repairs as the guys I used on the Isle of Sheppey have disappeared.
However, for the bonnet lining, I used 3M Hi strength 90 spray on adhesive with great success, so far.

I am still learning.

You'll want 3M#80, not #90.
