    Well I know I cleaned the car last Friday, so don't think it happened when my car was left in Aberdeen, anyway cleaning the car yesterday and found a scuff on the back bumper corner. Looks like someone has clipped it.......

    It's not that bad certainly noticeable enough for it to annoy me. Anyway this could be the catalyst for the new kit, now just need to get £1200 saved up.

    This really annoys me... People do it all the time and don't have the decency to own up... Sell the new kit to Kim - you know you can... Remember and mention the cost to fix this versus the cost of the new kit...

    Already there dude, showed her it last night and she said it won't be much for that, here's what I replied.

    I said that it would have to get done at the BMW dealership, for the warranty and that, then they will need to respray the whole bumper and part of the wing due to the metallic paint. I said it would probably be around the £500 mark. If I get the new kit I could probably get £300 for the one removed so it's not really worth going for the respray job. I cannot write down what she replied. It I had the spare cash it would be getting done this week, anyway will make do till the summer then who knows.

    I thought it was more, I presume there's fitting on top of that too.

    The kit as far as I can see is pretty easy to fit the kit. There are a couple of How To's kicking about with pics etc!

    Be very surprised if it was another car up there, unless the boy has scraped the Porsche next door. Also kids know to avoid the cars

    Don't worry, don't think it was either, just one of those things.
