My leased 3 Series is due to go back in about 6 weeks time and I have 3 rough cuts, each about 3 inches long, in the painted bumper just in front of the near side front wheel.

There seem to be quite a few SMART repairers covering the Croydon area. Can anyone recommend one? Many thanks!

I've found a company called Automotive Repair Systems, based in Orpington, Kent, but they also do visits. Anyone out there used them?

I have used them for alloy repairs. They do alot of work for bexley audi . One of their vans is there every friday so they must do a decent job i would think.

Just to follow up on this, in case anyone else is in the same situation.

I took my BMW over to Automotive Repair Systems base in Orpington, Kent on a Saturday morning rather than have them visit me. It took them just under 2 hours to do a near perfect repair (I'm pernickety and swear there is a little more orange peel on the area rather than the normal orange peel on the rest of the car). Colour match is very good. Total cost £150.

So wasn't cheap, but I can recommend them.

How did the car get on once inspected? Did they pick up any work he been done? My car is due to go back in May next year and here are a few marks I need to get sorted if worthwhile.
