Hi All,

Ive scraped my rear bumper today reversing into a space. Theres no structural damage to the bumper as I only rubbed against the wall. However it does have a scratch (probably more of a scuff) about 20cm long. Does anyone have a rough idea on how much MINI bodyshop will quote me for the repair?

I know about chips away etc, but the car is going into MINI later this week. I just want to be prepared for what they are going to quote.

Cheers in advance if you can help.

Thanks

Hulkster.

To be totally honest, you'll probably be able to pick up a second hand bumper for less than MINI might quote you. I had a tiny scuff on my Cooper a couple of years back from where a driving instructor reversed into my parked car

MINI repaired the car through their insurance company and the bill came to about £1,000. Ridiculous really seeing as I could have picked up another bumper off ebay for about £50 at the time.

dont go to bmw. 150 quid for two corrado bumpers to be painted in deep black. at a local bodyshop. If you go down this route just ask to see some of thier work first and agree on a price before the work is done.
