    This is a F-chat members daily driver that was involved in a accident with animal. The front bumper will be replaced and painted.

    The new replacement bumper did not fit well, another one was ordered. If you look close the upper left corner sticks out slightly.

    Looks pretty badass with the matte black bumper. Pictures make me miss the beast.

    Looks like Zermat silver...
    probably the hardest color ever to match..

    Good luck

    All of these colors are next to impossible to match when you factor in sun fade and previous paint work. We take body panels off and have them scanned by a machine that matches the paint color exact.

    Sterling Grey. Looks good on almost any car IMO.

    Kind of a delayed post but I have been meaning to recognize Bradan's attention to detail and perfection in dealing with something as minor as replacing and painting a bumper. Of course to me it's not minor (IT'S MY BUMPER!) but they may as well have been working on a Bentley.

    The Dan's keep you informed of progress and when there is lack of progress due to hiccups or complications, they let you know, too. I could definitely see another shop just giving me the car back hoping I wouldn't notice the problems Bradan agonized over resolving.

    The bottom line is that they run a very transparent operation and really care about doing the job right the first time.

    The way my M5 repair went solidified my decision to drop a much larger nut on my F355 major service +. I feel confident that my experience will be the same.

    Cheers,

    Greybeast
