Pranged the beast - pics attached

[Wrighty88]

Like a true doughnut, I scraped the corner of my Dad's house as I was reversing in - done the manoeuvre countless times but I was too quick and too cocksure.

As you can see from the image, the majority of the scrape occurred on the rear plastic bumper however, there is a bit of a dent right next to the tail light.

I'm told it will come out like new - quote from BMW, but I just want you guys to assure me it'll come out right as rain in terms of dent and respray/blend? It's with the BMW approved body shop.

Cheers guys.

Ouch! Sorry to see. Don't worry, the dealer is right. Had a similar, but smaller scrape that involved the plastic bumper cover and the metal quarter panel. Parked in my local grocery store parking lot when an older gentleman and fellow BMW driver parked next to me using the Braille method! Our local BMW approved body shop repaired and perfectly color matched, would never know anything had ever happened...

One can never be too cocksure...

What the f*ck kind of lingo do you people use in the UK. Either way make sure the bodyshop removes the panels before the spray them, thats the only way it will come out new.
