Hi guys,
Stoopidly hit a motorbike a week or two back. No injuries. Knocked a panier off his bike (BMW) and scraped my bumper and put a small dent into the front of the bonnet. :'(
Personally I think he teleported in front of my car, 'cos I never saw him.
I'm trying to fix things up without trashing my "no claims". Coughed up ?500 to fix up the bike.
My dealer can fix the bonnet without replacing (waiting for a quote) and I managed to T-cut the mark off the headlamp (thank god).
Just leaves me to sort out the bumper cover (as the dealer described it).
I'm assuming dealer price will be fairly high, so I wondered if anyone had a front from a car that they had upgraded with a sport pack?
Mine is a std SE in Titanium Gray 2.
If anyone (UK-south) has one they no longer need please let me know. Any colour.
I've no idea yet what the dealer cost is for such an item, so please indicate a price if you can.
Grateful for any help.
Cheers
Nick

There are a few on eBay.co.uk for less than ?100, including an M5 one. They will need to be painted though obviously.
If I put and M5 / M Sport front on, would it look odd without the skirts etc ?
Just wondering. I like the sport front, but I'm not keen on the rear.

I will have one in Titanium silver in a couple of weeks time once I find time to fit the M aero pack.
I've seen the M5 items on ebay, they have some sort of damage repair and don't include arch liners or bumper inserts (grills, brake ducts, etc) which are difficult to get hold of being a non M5 owner.

That's a good timescale for me too. Where are you located ?
PM me if you'd like to keep the info slightly more private.

I'm installing an M-tech kit this weekend and I have a titanium silver bumper with some paint damage (scrapes) that I could sell, but I'm in Texas, USA, and shipping would probably be more than new bumper from BMW.
