Danbury CT Shop Recommendation Paint & Install

Hey all - Just ordered a M Sport front bumper for my 2014 F32 435i. Looking for recommendations for a shop to remove old bumper, paint and install new bumper. I know that there is some pipping, transferring of some of the OEM hardware and possibly a crossbar that may need to be removed so looking for a shop that has performed this before and does good work. I'm in the Danbury CT area so, closer to home the better. Thanks guys! Will post pic's after install!

Here's the before if you're curious...

Ayo,

Also just bought the M Sport front bumper, for my 2016 328. Looking to have the same exact thing done. My brother works for the dealership in Warwick so thats my default option currently. If you find a good spot to have it done though, please keep me in the loop!

I've had mikes collision and towing paint my rear diffuser and they did a great job on the paint match and the price was reasonable. Tell them Pete with the bmw bumper referred you ! I just picked this up about 10 days ago.

Thanks! Here's a few more just after I finished the ceramic coating. Quite a bit of work to get it prepped (paint correction) but very happy with the results. Good luck with yours!

Finally got my bumper painted and installed! I'm no professional picture taker judging by my photos but everything came out perfect! They even put black vinyl on the front and back emblems without me asking (I was going to buy new ones, saved me there!) 100% recommend Mike's Towing in Danbury CT if anyone needs any work done. Fantastic job!

How much did this cost if you dont mind me asking? Went to BMW of warwick this morning to get oil change, and when I asked about having this done the guy told me absolutely not to do it at the dealership because they'll rail me. Only thing that would concern me about an indy is matching the paint.

I don't recall exactly but I think it was under $200. I was prepared to pay twice that since I once paid $400 to have a bumper painted for my E90 a few years ago. The paint match was spot on but I don't know where EB in terms of difficulty.

Sounds about right to me. A bumper takes a lot more prep and from what I've heard, black is a hard color to match.
