For my tuppence worth I'd think, if it's the bodywork then any Bodyshop that has a familiarity with Fibreglass could do it, on the other hand, if it is on the bumpers then anywhere who is familiar with painting plastic.

There is a section in the Wiki 'paint Repair' about DIY repair if you fancy it, at least it will appraise you of the process. The link is here: http://wikilec.9600.org/index.php/Paint_repair

I understand that the bumpers are GRP rather than fibreglass and I had mine undertaken by a local Bodyshop with good results.
