Need bumper respraying - where to go?

JohnSmith · Post by **JohnSmith** » Sat 03 Apr, 2010 11:54

Like a tool I managed to do the following to my front bumper when putting my car in the garage. It's quite deep towards the top so will need some 'paste' to give it it's shape at the top then requires a respray.

Can anyone recommend a good place for this? I won't go near BMW for it as their prices are a joke and I don't trust them anyway.

Ideally I need a place which knows the correct depth of clear coat etc.

I am in South Yorkshire if anywhere is local. I could remove the bumper if anywhere is further.

Oh, and bonus points for anyone who can tell me the part number of that offside side light that managed to explode when it hit the wall.

Can't help with paintshops in yarkshire, but the part is shown below:

Additional lights and side marker lights - BMW parts catalog

Part #5 - right hand yellow is 63.14.8.389.696 and white is 63.14.8.400.410 - approx £15-18 and includes new bulb and holder.

It appears to be exactly the same part on all models, but it would really really help if you could put your exact model and year into your profile please.

Cheers R.

Thanks for that. Robert, it's an S reg Z3M roadster.

These guys have a good reputation locally so think I'll give them a look http://www.autofinishers.co.uk/index.htm

I just had some panels painted at Arena Paint and Panel, Sheffield.
A little review here http://www.bodyshopmag.com/features/feature.php?id=1853

I'm very pleased with the work they did for me.
I took some before photos and they took some progress photos which they are going to email me after the holiday.
Tomorrow I will take some after photos. I may write a little review if anyone is interested.

Otherwise pm me if you want to see the photo's
