located in aucks so ya will call onehunga - but tbh i wasnt gettin quotes in remuera or nething - went to panmure panel and paint as i have used before but they reckon 450 -500.

I have phoned wreckers and got 'no sorrys'..... dont see to many caribs etc etc - i dont know where panelbeaters say they are geting a 2nd hand replacement from ??
Any names of wreckers used by members with good stock or know of any wrecking Caribs?

Alternativly is there any places that repair or make bodykits cheapp in akl? surely i not the only one to be after this type of damage repair.

Any more input help b gd ty
