Good morning all.

I have a E39 sport which has a seriously rusty drivers side front wing. I have bought a new one from BMW and am looking for a good bodyshop to do the following:

- Fit wing
- Repair crack in front bumper
- Repair rusted stone chips on bonnet
- Front end respray (front bumper, both front wings and front doors)

Can anyone recommend a good bodyshop they have used? I'm located in the Midlands but am happy to travel for the right place.

Thanks,

bucksmanuk

How much was the wing if you don't mind me asking? Been looking for a good used pair with no luck and my experience of pattern parts isn't good.

Thank-you very much - that's the type of recommendation I'm looking for. If it's good enough for a M5!!

I had the exact same problem. I went through 3 'rust free' wings off a certain auction website before giving up. The cost to rework the wing and then paint was not far off just buying a new wing!

I got mine for £260 from BMW.

Used these guys to repair the front bumper on my 5 series + a few other bits. Great service and free courtesy car to.
