Badly Scuffed Bumper

    Hi,

    Wife has a 2007 520d touring (BMW). Even with parking sensors front and rear she has managed to hit the pillar of the driveway not once but twice!! No panel damage or dents but a badly scuffed bumper - which is shown up badly as it is a black car. The other point is that the bumper is plastic so a quick t-cut and polish won't take away the bad look. Question is does anyone know a decent repair guy in the south dublin area? Preferably around dublin12.

    You may need to get the whole bumper resprayed depending on the damage. Don't know anyone in Dublin to do the job but I would be carefull about bringing such a new car to an unrecommended backstreet body shop. Also on a black coloured car a poor job would stand out more so.

    You might also want to shoot the wife so that it doesn't happen again. :D

    Sarcasm? Or genuine recommendation?
