Default Bonnet re-spray

Unfortunately I found some nasty scratches on the engine bay bonnet (most probably caused by a urban fox)

Today I checked with my favourite detailer in London and unfortunately I need to respray the entire bonnet.

Any suggestion for a good body work specialist near London?
Do you suggest to re-spray the front wings too for colour matching?

I would get the bonnet both wings and front bumper done. I would imagine you have some stone chips on the bumper and the wings must be done for colour match.

I thought only the SG one had to have wings and bumper done too

They won't just paint the bonnet, they will also colour out over the tops of your wings and then clear pretty much right through the wings in order to hide the blend.

Although front bumpers seem to be painted stand alone

And that is why so many are a different shade to those in the know. Plus plastic normally paints a different colour so you can get away with a bit.
