Yes so I’ll be driving the car to them as it is minus the kidneys, they will remove the bumper, bmw badge, and lower grill. Then they will rub it back and fill the rivet holes. Then give the bumper a full re spray, and put it back together.

That’s the plan anyway.

I did just deliver a bumper skin to them both times. Might explain the cheaper prices a bit.

Regardless of the individual circumstances I struggle to argue with yoir self deprecating comment .
Doesn’t matter at all if a respray or colour change. The bumper will be flatted, chips filed, primed (for adhesion) flatted again,sprayed, baked, polished and returned or fitted.

For anyone that’s interested in how I got on I have received a quote from Hailsham auto body shop that’s come in at £300.

Given the ballache of going around and getting quotes etc I’m more than happy with that. Roll on the 30th.

Thanks srhutch for the recommendation

Sounds good to me and fully understand the pain of chasing quotes.
You halved your cost..

Picked the car up and it’s perfect. Paint match is very good and I can’t find the old holes at all

Just need to get the grills, small plate and new badge on now.

Looks kinda aggressive without the grills

Really? I've always disliked the front. It needs a splitter or something. I like the Alpina or the Aero front as the bottom lip area is extended out slightly giving it a better shape. You're welcome to my pre-facelift front once I sort out the Alpina one I've got
