Had a small accident yesterday so require some replacement parts. (Same week as receiving £100 fine and 3points for doing 48 on the m25 through the roadworks. :-( )

Cheapest I can find a new front bumper is £350 painted from mstyle with new lower grilles, then I can change my hardware over. That a good deal? Or is there anywhere slightly cheaper? I've email P5mul also.

New performance grilles I'll get from bmw direct (60ish with discount)

Headlight bracket snapped on right headlight, hoping to fix. No warning lights ect so just cosmetic hopefully (garage looking at it Tuesday)

Anyone know what the plastic trim behind the bumper is as pictured?




Bonnet won't close on left, think that's cause of the bumper though (small crease in left of bonnet)

Can't help on the parts bit but I hope all gets sorted soon and no one was hurt.

MSport pre face lift E92 bumpers are really difficult to obtain I spent a good 6 or so weeks looking then struck lucky with a Sport front bumper(fair enough it needs a bit of prep & painting for nigh on £65 posted & it had PDC holes too) I'm trying to work out with the picture the trim you're talking about and with bleary eyes I'm struggling.

I'm 50/50 though re whether some plastic welding and some prep might keep that bumper alive if the bonnet was lifted it would give a slightly clearer idea but I've seen mashed bumper(worse than pictured)bought back to life.

Re he headlight bracket again as you've inter-mated it might be something that can be fixed.

Sorry re the accident though it's always heartbreaking when these things take place.

Yeah easily fixable, but time and effort to do it might as well just wack a new bumper on and new grilles in, no fuss that way. The plastic trim behind May have to get from bmw, can't see it on realoem either.

Thanks saw that one, but needs re spraying (can see scratches ect bottom corners of bumpers) so purchase price of £120 and then £100-150 to spray, think I'll pay the little extra and get brand new sprayed from mstyle.

P.s: you off the balcombe road?

Headlight should be fixable mate really.... or buy a damaged one with the bracket you need and cut the bracket off and get it welded back on.

Cheers, took it to a body shop of my mates uncle. Going to fix the lot for £450, weld bracket on headlight, repair and spray bonnet and bumper. I'll buy grilles and the intake panel from bmw (£100) and he will refit. So could have been much worse. £550 total.
