Dear members,
My wife scratched the font bumper of my E61 LCI yesterday.
It seems a new one needs to be fitted. Anyone knows howmuch a front bumper alone costs??
Incl. labour, painting.
However, this might clear my way to get a complete set of sports front, rear and side parts.
which could be (partly) bij my insurer.I saw prices about ? 1000,- in the UK for a complete set incl. labour and painting.
Is there a lot of price difference between the mentioned parts.

upgrade to m-tech kit? 
hi eddy - probably worth PMing our in-house M-Sport member quad_m to see if he can help you with a sensible quote as an alternative to a standard bumper... especially with Euro vs. Dollar values

Of course, if you're intent on finding an excuse to upgrade your body kit then this is the perfect excuse. However, for me, I'd rather just get the thing fixed.

I have had the same thing done to the front corner of my bumber. However, I would call it more of a scuff than a scratch. But can't these things be repaired? I'm sure I've seen companies repairing minor damage like this quite cheaply.

Bad news,
the M sports parts cant be fitted in combo with an tow bar.
BTW i have the tow bar installed yesterday, instead of detachable its a fully automatic.
Just a press on a button in the booth and it comes from behind the rear bumper.May I call this a little decadent? But it works very nice.
