Advice please on best/cost effective way of reparing slight bumber damage

bmw3series2010 · 07-21-2012, 03:10 PM

hello forum.

dickhead neighbour who was "helping" me to reverse into a tight space and ending up reversing into the a metal box sticking out from the back of his van. as you can see from the picture it is not something major but was wondering would it be advisable to use someone like chips away or is it best to go to a dealer.

thanks guys

My local dealer was able to do a very good plastic weld repair on something much worse than that. It obviously involved paint too and I've never noticed where the work was carried out in the months since. It wasn't cheap but it was a quality job. Other bodyshops probably offer the same thing. Rather than someone operating from the back of a van.
