Bodywork/paint/fibreglass repair in Newcastle

Lost a wheel over the weekend, has done some fibreglass damage. Can anyone recommend a repairer experienced in fibreglass and preferably specifically Corvettes in the Newcastle/Hunter? Recommendations for repairers further away will be considered too. Not a good weekend...

Thanks,

Andrew.

Hope the damage isn't too bad.

Damage isn't terrible, actually I think I was quite lucky considering what happened, but still not a good day...  Broke away a big piece of the wheel arch and destroyed the air dam.  It sheered all 5 studs (right front), not sure why, and most surprisingly to me, I had no warning anything was wrong.  I was travelling at around 80kmh at the time. Couldn't actually find the wheel when it happened, but went back the next day and located it eventually. Needless to say, I'll be replacing all the studs. Luckily I found someone who had Chevy wheel studs in their shed.  Had to remove the hub on the side of the road and take it to replace the studs so that I could get a wheel back on the car to get it home.
