Hi all!
A couple of days ago my father didn't notice a big stone behind you car (the PDC didn't either!) and we now have a dent (?) back on the real spoiler (5cmx5cm) and damage on the paint. :'( :'( Which sucks big time!
I don't have a picture on the damamge right now. Do you guys know how to get this damage fixed ? Do my dealer order a new rear spoiler and paint it (cost?) or can they repair my spoiler, and then paint it ??
Just wanted to get the car fixed right away! Hate such stupid accidents!!!
See picture below, the black painted mark is where the damage are located.

When you say spoiler do you mean the rear apron or the actual spoiler.. cause from the look of that picture you don't have a spoiler..

I think you'll need a new piece. It looks as though it is cracked. Is it?

Hopefully you'll just need some paint.? Aren't the BMW bumpers supposed to absorb speeds of up to 5mph without breaking?

Picture is comming ASAP!
There is a dent on the rear bumper, where I painted the black spot on the picture.
Dent + scratch. Will see what they will do.
The rear bumper is made in plastic, and I've heard that it's possible to heat the plastic, and then get ride of the dent, when that is done, they will paint the hole bumper.. Could that be right ?
I just wanted to get it fixed, and I really don't care if they would like to replace my bumper with a new one, of if they can repair my current bumper.

Here is the picture, as you can see, the dent isn't big, but there ar some stratches around the dent. So what do you guys think? Do I have to get a new bumper, or can my BMW dealer repair my current bumper, so it would look like new again ?
Sorry for the picture quality, and that the car i dirty! :'(
