BMW bumper repair

Theboinkmaster

Hi

Anyone any ideas of what my options are (repair, replacement) for this damage, pictures below?









Do you think this is possible to repair at a reasonable cost at all?

It's a 2011 silver bmw f10 m sport. I imagine if I bothered with a main dealer it would be €1k at least.

I have fully comp insurance, should I even ring them?

Ah that's nasty

Don't go near insurance or a dealers.
A good credible bodyshop will see that perfect for €400 I'd reckon.

Something like that amount would be grand, any suggestions of good bodyshops in Dublin?

You could even get it sorted for less. Call into a few places and get some quotes.

Way less!! Hillside car spray finglas, vitas will do it for 200, perfect color match and excellent service!!

The only thing I'd say is bring it somewhere reputable. The last thing you want on a 30k+ car is a bumper that sticks out like a sore thumb. I wouldn't bother with a dealer for this mind, they'll only ship it out and take a commission for doing so.

€200 will easily cover it, I've had bumper damage like that repaired before for under €200 good as new. As mentioned, go to a decent / reputable place.
