Default car repairs...

Had a bit of a ding in the P1 just over 3 yrs ago which involved the front bumper having to come off....... Well the car went to a BMW dealership for the repairs cos i was told they were the best about....

Well today, my lower lip has come off...... NOW I'M EFFFFFIN TAMPIN !!!

The cheeky *******s had used self tapping screws on it instead of the correct clips, they used a bonding agent to hold it in tight in places cos they didnt bother to remove the front bumper......

My car is now sitting there,with no lower lip, looking very strange... and worse still, ive got to wait till morning now before i can get my hands on the workshop manager...........


NOT HAPPY !!!



Oh yeah, can anyone recommend a top notch bodyshop ???

I know of one in Magor but would that be to far from you ?
He is always busy so there could be a waiting issue.

I'd recommend I.D Auto Refinishing Centre in Pontardulais. He is excellent. His colour match is spot on. I've yet to speak to anybody how's complained about him and you'll get a good price. Ask for Ian, he's the owner.

I went down to see Ian at the beginning of the week..... Had a very good price off him aswell..... have to wait a month though to get the car in with him.

I have to get the lip put back on by the 28th July though...... My tickets came through for the Prodrive open day and i'll be damned if i'm turning up in anything other than my scoob
