Cold Cups... And A Stupid Woman!

[mickaldo]

The result of a woman being in the wrong lane on a roundabout! Decides she wasnt in the right lane, brakes and practically stops when she realises she needs to go all the way around as a result i cant stop behind her and just kiss her bumper! Can this be repaired or is it a new bumper? And what price is a new bumper ?

Ouch :bigcry:Sorry to see this matey, not nice to have happen. Not sure about repairing, but a new one is £2.5k from BMW, complete with new splitters. (Don't think you can buy on their own without all the bits).

FOOOOOOK IT...

Sorry to hear this chap - hope it can be repaired......I think the wait for a new bumper can be a shocker.

Best of luck

sure you can get it repaired but most people would replace, seen a CSL with less damage than that and a new bumper was called for.

at a glace thought this thread was a woman joke.

Mick old chap, that's terrible ... sorry to hear that ..

In answer to your question, yes you will

Mine been done twice now by people who can not park first one looked like an artic had reversed into me :bigcry:

Dazza's (who you got your brakes from) old man, and brother are panel beaters and painters both very good, did mine, but are down south ...

Would of thought any decent painters could sort it, by the looks of it bumper may need to be foam filled like mine then fibre'd over and painted .. wont be as strong as original but still better than 2.5k

[AlexGTT]

Yep, as Daz said, should be repairable. Daz's looked good after it was done (only to be nudged again, hey Daz :banghead: )

Speak to Julian/Ant at Simpson's as well. They make and repair CF panels and have done wonders with damaged CSL bumpers.

hard luck mate, as Alex said try Simpsons motor sport they do an exchange scheme. i had a new one last year on insurance, it comes painted from BMW AG by the time the VAT was added it was nearer 3.5k

as an idea on price from Simpson's - the exchange bumper costs the price of a days labour i'm not sure what their hourly rate is but i guess you can work it out roughly from that.

anyway good luck :thumbs:

think ill go the daz route then, ill go to my mates bodyshop and let him have a look as long as you cant tell when its done then not really arsed how they do it. the shit part about it is it was only painted about a month ago:bigcry:

[phat///M3]

Sorry to see that mate, I had a scary moment earlier on today, a Lidl shopping bag with some crap in it flew right up from under the car infront of me and hit the bumper, doesnt look like it was damaged but it had me worried the whole way home.

Hard luck mate - hope you get it sorted.

BTW, Simpson charge £55 + VAT per hour labour - somewhat cheaper than BMW!

i know your pain mate, mine had been back from the body shop after being painted only about a week when some T@*t reversed into it :bigcry: i was in a sandwich shop heard the sound of carbon fibre splitting - very similar to the damaged you have by the look of it.

Bad luck mate,hope you get sorted ok.:bigcry:
