Hi all,

I need some advice.

My wife decided to drive the E90 diesel into a parking stop at speed this morning. :yuck::cry::argh:

Bumper badly scratched and dented on right corner.

Who would be best at this in Pretoria East??

Can I take the bumper of and just take it to them? I need to do some other work also like headlight fixes, etc...

Any recommendations would be appreciated!

Thanks!!

Hi Bud,

Please post up a pic so that I can see the damage.

What color is the car.

Your problem with taking the bumper off is that it will be painted the exact color according to the color code,

If the vehicle is a bit older, and of light color, this often leads to color mismatches, as the paint of the car fades with time, Especially white, darker colors are not that much of an issue, but Alpine white (which most cars are) fades/changes with age.

So its best to have the car.

Sorry for the attachment but I am on my phone. The bumper is also scratched underneath, a small dent on the left and a 5 cm crack from one of the mounting holes under...:bangdesk:

What do you think price wise and so?
