M Coupe/Roadster body panels - Steel or Aluminum?
I know the hood is aluminum, does anyone know if other panels on the M Coupe/Roadster are also aluminum? I need some minor repair to the rear hatch and wanted to make sure the body shop can deal with repairing aluminum if it is indeed aluminum. Thanks.

I've had body work done twice at C&C Collision in Alhambra if you're looking for somewhere trustworthy.

Thanks for the suggestion/recommendation. Alhambra is a bit out of the way for me. I'm in Irvine and currently looking at Laguna Niguel Collision to do the work.

It's pretty easy to check with a refrigerator magnet. Aluminum is not magnetic.
