Land Rover Bodyshop Manchester
For over 20 years we have been repairing Land Rovers in Manchester. Our journey began as a Land Rover mechanical repair garage, specialising in the maintenance and mechanical restoration of vehicles from the brand. As our reputation grew and customers trusted us with more complex work, we expanded our services and opened a dedicated Land Rover bodyshop in Manchester to meet the need for high quality Land Rover bodywork repairs.
Today we repair all types of Land Rover bodywork damage, from minor cosmetic imperfections to full accident repairs. Whether your Land Rover has suffered light scratches, dents, paint damage or requires a complete respray, our experienced technicians have the knowledge and equipment required to restore your vehicle to its original condition. We regularly repair models across the entire Land Rover range including the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Evoque, Discovery and Defender.
At our Land Rover bodyshop in Manchester we combine decades of experience with professional bodyshop equipment, ensuring every repair is completed to the highest standards. From small cosmetic paint corrections to major structural accident repairs, our goal is always the same: to return your Land Rover looking exactly as it should.

Why Use an Independent Land Rover Bodyshop Like Us?
Land Rover vehicles use sophisticated paint systems that often include metallic, pearlescent and multi-layer finishes. Achieving a proper repair therefore requires using the correct paint system and following the same painting process used by the manufacturer.
At our Land Rover bodyshop in Manchester, we use premium paint systems such as Glasurit, a high-end automotive paint brand used by many manufacturers and approved repair centres. These systems are designed to reproduce factory paint colours accurately and provide the durability and depth expected on prestige vehicles such as Land Rover and Range Rover models.
The repair process follows the correct paint structure used at factory level. This involves preparing the panel properly, applying the appropriate primer, colour basecoat and the correct high-quality clear coat that provides gloss and long-term protection. Using the correct clear coat is particularly important, as it determines how the finish reflects light and how resistant it is to environmental damage over time.
All painting is carried out in a professional spray booth environment, which controls temperature, airflow and contamination. This allows the paint to be applied evenly and cure correctly, producing a smooth finish that blends properly with the surrounding panels.
By using manufacturer-grade paint systems, correct paint layering and a controlled spray booth process, Land Rover paintwork can be repaired in a way that closely replicates the original factory finish.
Land Rover Accident Repair in Manchester
Trusting a Land Rover specialist
Many Land Rover and Range Rover owners have heard stories where a vehicle goes into a bodyshop for accident repairs and comes back with new problems—sensors not working, trims damaged or components not refitted correctly. Modern Land Rover vehicles contain a large number of sensors, brackets, wiring systems and electronic components that must be handled carefully when panels are removed or replaced.
Our background is different to many bodyshops. We originally started as a Land Rover mechanical specialist garage, working on these vehicles daily before expanding into body repairs. That experience means we understand how Land Rover and Range Rover vehicles are built and how panels should be removed and refitted without disturbing sensors, wiring, clips or structural mounting points.
During an accident repair, panels often need to be dismantled to access underlying damage. On modern Range Rovers and Land Rovers this can involve parking sensors, radar systems, cameras, wiring looms and multiple brackets hidden behind body panels. Knowing how these components are mounted and how they should be refitted is essential to avoid problems after the repair.
Because of our experience working specifically with Land Rover vehicles, we approach accident repairs with the same care and understanding that a specialist mechanical garage would. For many owners, their Land Rover is something they take great pride in, and having it repaired by technicians who understand the vehicle properly provides the reassurance that the repair will be carried out correctly.
Range Rover Carbon Fibre Wheel Repair
Carbon fibre wheels, which are now fitted on Range Rovers, need a completely different approach compared to standard alloys. They're lightweight and strong, but when they get damaged from curbing or general use, they can make the car look tired very quickly if not repaired properly.
If you've curbed your carbon fibre wheel on your Range Rover, we can restore it back to its factory finish. The process is very different to a standard alloy wheel refurbishment. We carefully remove the damaged epoxy layer across the wheel and re-apply multiple layers using the correct materials and techniques. This brings back the original depth, clarity and visible weave that makes these wheels stand out in the first place.
At Bodyshop Manchester we return your carbon fibre wheels to the same standard you'd expect from a main dealer, but without the cost of replacing them.
If your Range Rover carbon fibre wheels need attention, get in touch and we'll guide you through the best way to restore them properly.
Land Rover / Range Rover Bodykit Installation
Many Land Rover and Range Rover owners choose to enhance the appearance of their vehicles through the installation of aftermarket bodykits. These upgrades can significantly change the visual presence of the vehicle by adding wider arches, redesigned bumpers, sportier diffusers and more aggressive styling elements while still maintaining the design language of the original model.
At our Land Rover bodyshop in Manchester, we supply and install a wide range of aftermarket bodykits from recognised brands such as Brabus, Onyx, Urban Automotive and Aspire. These manufacturers produce some of the most popular styling upgrades available for Land Rover and Range Rover vehicles.
We supply and install bodykits for the following models:
- Body kit Range Rover L405 (2013–2017)
- Body kit Range Rover L405 Facelift (2018–2021)
- Body kit Range Rover L460 (2022–present)
- Body kit Range Rover Sport L494 (2014–2017)
- Body kit Range Rover Sport L494 Facelift (2018–2022)
- Body kit Range Rover Sport L461 (2022–present)
- Body kit Range Rover Velar L560 (2017–present)
- Body kit Range Rover Evoque L538 (2011–2018)
- Body kit Range Rover Evoque L551 (2019–present)
- Body kit Land Rover Defender L663 (2020–present)
- Body kit Land Rover Discovery 5 L462 (2017–present)
Bodykit installation involves more than simply fitting new parts. Components such as bumpers, side skirts, diffusers and wheel arch extensions must align correctly with the original bodywork and are often painted to match the vehicle's colour. Correct preparation and installation ensure the finished result looks cohesive and maintains proper panel alignment.
Land Rover Defender Accessories Installation
The Land Rover Defender is one of the most customisable vehicles in the Land Rover range, and many owners choose to add practical accessories or styling upgrades. At our workshop we supply and install a wide range of Land Rover Defender accessories, many of which are optional extras typically offered by the manufacturer.
One advantage of sourcing these accessories independently is that we are often able to supply them at a more competitive price compared to purchasing directly through JLR, while still fitting high-quality parts that integrate properly with the vehicle.
Common Defender upgrades we install include:
- Land Rover Defender side steps / side skirts
- Land Rover Defender exterior storage boxes
- Land Rover Defender bull bars
- Land Rover Defender roof-mounted auxiliary lights
These accessories can improve both the functionality and the appearance of the vehicle. We supply and fit these components ensuring they are installed securely and integrate properly with the vehicle's mounting points and electrical systems where required.
Land Rover Paint Protection Film (PPF)
Have you recently bought a new Land Rover, whether it is a Range Rover or a Land Rover Defender? In that case you will probably remember how the paint looked when the vehicle was first delivered—it's a great feeling which you never forget, the finish is deep, glossy and completely free from marks. However, it does not usually take long before the paintwork starts to lose that brand new appearance. Regular washing, road debris and everyday use can gradually dull the finish, and on darker colours, particularly black, swirl marks often start to appear across the paintwork.
To avoid this, at Bodyshop Manchester we can apply Paint Protection Film (PPF) to your new Land Rover. PPF is a transparent protective layer installed over the paintwork which helps protect the factory paint from scratches, stone chips and general wear. By covering the painted surfaces of your Land Rover or Range Rover, the original finish remains protected underneath.
With PPF installed across the vehicle, the factory paint is shielded from the elements and from the small marks that normally build up over time. This means that when the vehicle is cleaned, the paintwork underneath continues to look close to how it did when the car was first delivered.
Land Rover and Range Rover Full Car Respray
Over time, even well-maintained vehicles can reach a point where the paintwork no longer reflects the overall condition of the car. Sun exposure, repeated polishing, stone chips and general wear can gradually dull the finish or leave the paint covered in scratches and imperfections. In these situations, a full car respray can restore the appearance of the vehicle completely. At our Land Rover bodyshop in Manchester, we carry out full resprays for Land Rover and Range Rover vehicles using professional paint systems and controlled spray booth environments to achieve a consistent finish across the entire vehicle.
Same Colour Full Car Respray
A same colour full respray is typically carried out when the existing paint has deteriorated or when the vehicle has accumulated many scratches, chips or faded areas over time. The process involves carefully dismantling exterior components such as trims, lights, badges, handles and mouldings so that panels can be refinished properly without visible masking lines. Each panel is then prepared and repainted using the correct primer, basecoat and clear coat process to restore the original colour and finish. This type of respray is designed to bring the vehicle back to a factory-quality appearance, restoring the depth and gloss of the original paintwork across the entire vehicle.
Colour Change Full Car Respray
A full colour change respray is a much larger project than a standard repaint because the entire vehicle must be refinished so that the new colour appears consistent everywhere, including areas that are normally hidden.
To give you an idea of what this process involves, the work begins by stripping many of the exterior components from the vehicle. This includes removing parts such as the bumpers, side skirts, bonnet, boot lid, doors, handles, mirrors and the glass, including the glass seals. Removing these parts allows the vehicle to be painted properly without masking lines and ensures the new colour is visible throughout the vehicle.
Once dismantled, the bodywork is carefully prepared. This stage involves correcting rust, dents, previous paint defects or bodywork imperfections, as well as addressing any structural issues if present. The surfaces are then sanded and chemically cleaned so the new paint can adhere correctly. After preparation, the vehicle is fully primed, usually with multiple coats to achieve complete coverage and create a stable base for the new colour. The colour coats are then applied, typically three to four layers of paint, followed by the application of a protective clear lacquer. Once the paintwork has cured, the vehicle is reassembled, including the glass being reinstalled with new seals and all exterior components carefully refitted. When completed correctly, a colour change respray transforms the entire vehicle and produces a consistent finish across every visible panel.
Regardless of whether you are considering a same colour respray or a full colour change, the most important factor is that the work is carried out properly. If you want your Land Rover or Range Rover respray done correctly, with the right preparation, materials and attention to detail, our team at Bodyshop Manchester has the experience to carry out the job to a professional standard.
