Bumper Respray ?

Hi All .
at work this morning someone managed to drive into my rear bumper and cause some minor damage . The person in question has said he will pay for the cost of rectifying his bad driving .
I don't really want to take it to my nearest BMW dealer ( Kentish Town) as i can imagine it will cost Â£Â£Â£Â£Â£Â£ , Does anyone know of a reputable bodyworks garage around Camden area of London ?

Similar to many scrapes I've had done, always used the Chipsaway guy near us (not you), never been able to see the repair and about Â£175 per bumper. This is only my opinion of course but the smart repairs I've had have always been top quality and invisible.

HTH

Another one here who can recommend ChipsAway. Used them a few times and have always been happy with there work.

And we are VERY fussy about our cars

About two months ago they done the complete rear bumper on our E60 for Â£240. That included removing all the parking sensors and painting them separately.

Would not be happy at all personally
I'd ask for refund I wouldn't bother asking them come to sort it out n find a decent body shop to re spray it

That doesn't look acceptable. You need to complain

jolls · Post by **jolls** » Thu Jan 28, 2016 8:22 pm

That is totally unacceptable. I would ask for my money back.

Just give them a call, all their work is guaranteed, so their shouldn't be a problem. All the work I have had done has always been perfect,

Cheers
