Hi
A few weeks ago some idiot who was racing through (not round, but right accross....) a car park hit the front drivers side corner of my car, front bumper cracked, wing dented and cross member oushed back and a piece of it is protruding through thr wheel arch which rubs on the tyre on full lock.
Insurance company say its a write off
but they will give me £2,400 and I get to keep the (driveable but a bit of an eyesore) car
So as I am quite handy I will repair it myself, but I want to keep as much of the money as I can so will be looking at getting a cheap front bumper and wing, where do you guys reccomend?
Also is black, black? or did BMW use various blacks? (ie how do i find out my exact black?)
The only part of the repair that has me worried is the corss member. I remove old bumper and wing by unbolting them, easy enough, but then how do I bend the cross member back? and how would I be sure its alligned properly? (im assuming just by offering up the new wing to the car and eyeballing it?)
Im hoping I can get it all done for less than £300
