Well the parking lot's insurance cut me a check for $1100 so I ordered an Umnitza front and I am having it installed this week. Also ordered washer fluid brackets. My hood had some major chips in the front so I figured while they are in the paint this is a good time to have it repainted. Do you guys have any suggestions or advice I should take. I am going through a shop that BMW recommended.

Thanks

My only suggestion is to take pics when you're done installing it.

If the shop is BMW dealer recommended, then it should be fine. Color matching is what I'd suggest between the hood, bumper and the rest of the body), but the shop should know about it.

Please show us some pics when it's done. GL
