Help! I just crashed my mini into a pole and it was pretty bad. I have a huge dent on the side of the hood and the metal piece behind that is dented pretty bad, I think it needs to be replaced. Since my mini's leased, do I need to take it somewhere specific to get it fixed? or can I find a shady place near home? I'm a student and oh so very poor at the moment with the holidays coming up.

Usually approved MINI body shop at a guess

If a shady place can do a good job though...

You should maybe let the Mini dealership you leased it at know, assuming it was a Mini dealership. Just wouldnt want you to have problems at the end of the lease when they determine you had an accident.

Okay, I won't try to take any short cuts and I'll ask the mini dealership. I do love my mini too much to see it man handled. Thanks for the help!
