Ugh, I hope you get it repaired the right way soon. I hate when they do things like this.

Sorry to hear about your little accident mate......

Reason for cost issue on resprays - in order to achieve perfect colour match BMW usually respray adjoining panels, as well as the damaged panel. So, for instance, you have a BMW 3 series that needs a respray on some minor damage to the bonnnet - BMW usually insist that the front wings are also resprayed at the same time, so that the colour match is perfect..... so yes, the cost would come down if they already have the car in for some paint work......

Go and pick my baby up today after having the bonnet stripes refitted so hopefully the door has been sorted too will post later and let you know!

(thanks for all your support by the way

Got my baby back and he looks cool
