E90 Scratches/Scuffs repair recommendations

Hi there,

My E90 was scratched by someone when I parked in a street. It looks very ugly as it's on the doors and above the wheel arch. I live in Wembley, could you guys please recommend any place that would fix this at a reasonable cost? So far I have got quotes from a range of 400 to 1000 based on pics but I don't have any personal experience with of any of these garages. I am willing to go up to 10 miles distance for a good place that would it for a reasonable cost. Please find pictures attached. Thanks

Yes to repair that properly you will need to get the panel sprayed.

It cost me £300 for a rear wing in metallic red about 5 years ago so I can believe the quotes you are getting.

Don't just send the paint shop these photos though, take the car to a reputable bodywork repairer so that they can see how much work is involved and make sure they know it is not an insurance job as that will significantly reduce the cost straight away.
