Sorry to hear, I would shop around for some quotes..
How are you finding the car so far, and driving it around London? Best of luck fixing it, hopefully it won't be too costly

I wanna ask BMW about it but thought I'd ask you guys first so I know what to say when they start selling me the full repaint. Totally loving the subtle drive on London roads with sporadic speed runs when and where I can get away with it! It's a real beast when you push for it.

I've had some good luck with mobile spot repair places for smaller blemishes. They spot repair just the damaged section and blend it with the surrounding.

Thanks guys. I'd really like to avoid full bumper repaint if I can help it. Spot repair sounds more agreeable and I'd start looking for options as soon as I stop kicking myself for letting this happen!
Any recommendations? I'm in West London.

1. sand the grooves (carefully)
2. touch up paint in layers (dab, dry, dab, dry, etc) 3. wet sand down 4. polish You should be able to get it flush. Color wont match 100%, but will be very close. Not sure why people dont do this more with scratches. If anybody has a good online tutorial for people to reference, please post! |
