Spot scratch repair service recommendation in London?
Hi guys, somehow this happened and now I can't bear to look at it in this state. Can you recommend someone who could fix this without having to repaint the whole thing? First hand experience sharing would be appreciated.
I'm in West London.

That needs to be sanded. If it's that deep, unfortunately , it needs to be repainted. How extensive the repainted, it's up to you? You need to see a good body shop that is comfortable spot spraying that small area.
Naturally, they want to repainted the whole car if they can, that's how they make money. Goodluck.

Looks like it just needs repair/repaint to the bumper - if you want it done properly, go to Bodytechnics (Slough), but they are busy and you should be prepared to book quickly & wait for a slot.
http://www.bodytechnics.co.uk/index.htm Acton Coachworks are also very good |

My selling BMW Dealer has done quite a few smart repairs to my one.
All guaranteed work (BMW bodyshop certificate provided with every job) and was quite good value for money. They have a chap who comes in to do some of their customer cars. Dealer based in Kingston. Let me know and I can introduce you to the Bodyshop manager who is a top bloke

The above sounds like a good option & I would be interested for details also - I would imagine Bodytechnics or Acton are likely to charge approx £700 +VAT

I think looking at the damage on Darko's car it would be around £200.... I believe that panel surrounding the kidneys is plastic, well it is on my M6 GC.
