First Week Anniversary: Crash!

I am loving my new pepper white Clubman, but our one week anniversary involved a crash. It's won't require major body work, but it will require the entire side of the car to be repainted. The wheelwell covers and wheels will need to be replaced as well.

My concern is how well the new paint job will match the existing. Does anyone have experience with this? I'm almost considering having the entire car painted.

I'm sorry to read this but very glad no one was hurt...save your PW MCC.

A good body shop should have no problem making the paint look perfect.

Sorry to hear.

Otra's right; paint is really good now. Find a top drawer bodyshop, and try not to fret too much.
