Hi everyone.

Can anyone recommend a decent bodyshop around the glasgow area that can respray the bumpers of my Cooper S? Most places ive checked out have said that the job is a complete nightmare and not worth the hassel? Starting to think they dont want my business!

Also a rough idea of the cost if anyone has already had it done.

Thanks in advance

Can't give you anywhere in the Glasgow area I'm afraid but I can give you a rough price:I I had the front bumper on my Mundane done recently and it was £90 at a place called Burgoynes in Airth (next to Grangemouth) :p:D:approve:

Typically BMW pricing is high, anything up to about £400 :eek: i'm not from the Glasgow area, but, someone more local will advise, i personally got mine done for £90 at a local shop in Montrose and will be going back there for my new cooper ;):cool:
It is a lot of work as special paints are required etc but, well worth it as the standard arches are a nightmare to keep clean

But he said he only wanted to paint his bumpers:eek:;)
If you use a BMW paintshop they use water based paint which is mucho dosh per litre:dead: :p:D:approve:

my bro colour codes kits has done a few on here, he used water based paint also, purely because of the fact that thinners based is a pain in the arse for plastics and aint that much cheaper, bonnie i presume for that price they are being painted in 2pac paint which will fade quite fast, espaecialy on a black car.

I would also recommend Burgoynes - our work have used them and their work is top notch..

I meant all the trim and not just the bumpers! Sorry for any confusion:D

Contact details of places would be great, not that bothered about whereabouts in scotland as lets face it, our country aint that big! LOL Beats driving down south!

Thanks again
