Hi, my 2001XKR needs to get some cosmetic love - I've attached some pics - basically I need both rear sills done (one has a 50pence-sized hole), the near-side rear wheel arch and the offside lower rear wing.
I'm looking for any bodyshop recommendations in the North of England (anywhere North of Birmingham) - I know it's not going to be cheap so I'm happy to travel to go to a recommended bodyshop (I'm based in Manchester).
Also if anyone has experience of how much this work may cost, then please let me know.
I've seen pre-fabricated repair panels from SNG Barrett and XK8 Parts - is it worth getting these in advance?

 

The hole in the sill will probably need a bit more cutting out once it’s cleaned off but it looks a straight forward repair to me. Looking at the other rust patches you would need to reveal what’s underneath really. They don’t look that bad as far as you can make out. I wouldn’t buy anything until I’d stripped it back you may be lucky.

 

OrangeXKR,

I had a similar problem in Bahrain. Link to my thread below.

Hopefully you won’t need the repair panels, if like me, holes aren’t too bad and you find a good body work shop.
