Hey guys, Just wondering if anyone knew of a good bodyshop in the K-town area. My FD got some scratches and slight body damage on the rear bumper in both rear wheel wells on it's move here from Okinawa, and I didnt claim it cuz i was more worried about getting my car started and missed it (the guys at the VRO flooded my motor cuz they turned it on to move it then shut it off before it warmed up). I have a custom paint color (it's similar to the GT-R bayside blue, but it's not) so I want a good shop that can get close to matching it, and fix the body damage. Any help would be awesome, thanks guys.

I was wondering when I would see a post from you. I have a silver TII with black wheels in the area.


The same thing happened to me, but it was on the front bumper and when I put in the claim they still denied me saying it was a prexisting condition.


There is a couple of body shops in the area you can go to. I can't think of the name of the shop, but I took mine there and its in Landstuhl right next to the Mcdonalds and behind the car wash. They did a great job in fixing the fiber glass and matching the stock Arctic Silver paint. I had them spray the whole front bumper.


I had recieved some damage last spring (a couple of months after getting it fixed) and a body shop in Mehlingen did the repairs then and I thought they did a great job to. The Mazda dealership in Enkenbach can point you in the right direction. Thats who I also see if I need parts. The owner is cool as hell and there not shy to work on Rotaries. Talk to Sascha. Tell him Jerry sent you over.


The hardest part is finding a shop that can match the color of your paint. Do you know the paint code or what car it came from?


Its also very expensive to have body work done. I had to pay almost 500 euros for the first repair job.


Get on Milteknik.com and ask on there. Someone might know a shop or maybe a shop in a nearby city you can go to.


What are you using to tune the car with?

Thanks for the info mayne! I Will try to hit up the shop in landstuhl once I save up some money. I don't know the paint code for my color, but i know that it is more than one color mixed together. When I bought the piant in Japan i was going to get GT-R bayside blue but it was expensive so the paint guy said he could make me a color that was close. As long as the shop here can get close enough that you have to really look hard to tell the difference, then i'm cool with it. I'm not using anything to tune my car at the moment. I just have intake, downpipe, and cat back right now. I plan on getting a PFC, new fuel pump, and cooling upgrades after tax season (sometime around march). Again, thanks for the info mayne!

Also, I think I saw your car on vogelwiegh(sp) before.
