Scratched my new 2011 e90 msport, Front Mtech bumper

xnfsx · 03-01-2012, 11:12 AM

Hey guys,

Was wondering if any of you know a possible solution, maybe a shop in NYC that can fix this? How much do you guys think it'll cost?

I was going up a steep entrance to a drive way and it was a narrow driveway, turned a bit too narrow cause of the road. -_- the result....

One possible solution is cf splitters but the side can still be seen.

Thanks for the help. Appreciate it!

can anyone chime in?! :T

assuming you dont want to repaint it, buff it out as much as possible then use touchup sparingly, otherwise a splitter is another way to hide it, it looks pretty deep in some areas.

The bottom is deeper, i have a porter cable. I'll try to buff it out.

Get a mtech lip. Looks great and cover up the scratches too.

That won't "buff out". Take it for an estimate if you want to know how much it would cost to have fixed. How easy was that?
