Got the car back now - total bill was for £513. The quoted price yesterday already had a 10% discount as i discovered.

In the end i managed to get 20% off parts as well as 10% off labour charges. They also fitted the spare set of PS2 front tyres that i had in the car free of charge (having destroyed what life was in the old ones at Bruntingthorpe). Maybe i could have got a slightly better deal but they did get me in at short notice so i'm happy with that. :-D

I also had a quote for the NSF Carbon Splitter to claim back from the RAC. Part price not including VAT £170.92. Total fitted price £249.68! I was advised of a possible long lead-in time as splitters have been on back order since January... No surprises there then! :banghead:

Glendog I believe Thorney has some front splitters. A friend was there last week and said they are good quality.

Cheers Andy. I'm still waiting on the RAC to make me a compensation offer just in case i need to get it done as a job by BMW to claim the money. The splitter is still holding together fine so can wait i suppose. I will do it myself if needed - doesn't look too difficult!

The RAC contractor finally admitted liability this week - almost 3 months after the event! :wav:

They will pay for the repair, so i popped into BMW to order a NSF Splitter - £203 - not including fitting! :hahaha:

The parts bloke was most optimistic and told me there is a delivery due in Germany on the 23rd Feb and that he should get one 7 days after that. I replied with "I'll hopefully see it in about 3 months then..." :smt104
