Good, trusted workshop for painting needed

I had the perfomance aero kit painted at a smash repair workshop that is on the BMW workshop list. So I thought I would be in good hands.......but I was wrong. Really poor work performed and pretty pissed about it.

I installed the front and back bumpers anyway

In the transport from Europe, both side panels had been damaged and had a very small crack about a centimetre in length (see picture)

They drew my attantion to the cracks and we discussed them attempting to repair them but when I picked them up it was clear that they had made no attempt to fix it. It seems very noticeable so there is no way I am putting them on as they are.

Can anyone recommend a trusted workshop that could fix this and how much do you think it would cost. (the people who did this half arsed work are at parramatta, so dont bother mentioning them).

cheers

I'm not sure whether they do specific jobs like yours, or just smash repair work. Can't hurt to ask. If not, ask who they'd recommend.

I dare say it won't be the cheapest quote you'll get, but from the work I've seen, it could be the best result you'll see.

They have an amazing photo collection on the wall in reception - including a Jag XJ220.

Cheers, I will give them a call tomorrow and find out if they would be interested. I realize that it is a very small job so I guess I would have to pay a premium.
