That wont be cheap.

I reversed my black sapphire X5 into a post a couple of years ago ( Yes i know). Anyway slightly less damage than yours & to bumper skin in similar impact location to yours. I had it done by someone local to me whom I trust. Trully undetectable to all but the most knowledgable of eyes & for a very reasonable fee.

Main dealers not always best work albeit better than many.

I believe there is a company near Washington who do sub contracted work for Chandlers. Sorry but I cant recall their trading name & have never visited them.

I once used Chandlers subby body-shop in my E39 days.

BMW GB actually ended up paying to repaint the entire car :o

Cooper group use one facility in Beckenham, which is obviously approved too. If there is any grief, they know me well and the level of hassle that will reach them ;)
