Accident repair

coetzejg · 06-01-2010, 08:17 AM

Neighbour reversed into my car's passenger door while my car parked in my driveway.

BMW recommends that the door be replaced completely as well as the front and rear panels on that side be resprayed to blend in the Metalic Black.

My car's only 5 months old.

Anyone had a similar accident before and got a door replaced and possibly experienced issues afterwards?

I feel for you.

I will stop wining over my selfmade scratches..............

I know a guy who can help your neighbour move

Had my rear bumper resprayed after 1 month, they did a perfect job.
