Title: Bumper respray sussex?
Post by: squirrelGTi on 21 November 2012, 19:04: Hi guys,

Just got back to my car today and noticed some kind person has left me a scuff on my rear bumper.

Looks like it'll need a respray :cry:

Anyone know a decent respray in Mid Sussex? I might just give Crawley Vw a call.

Any idea on cost as well?

Thanks all.

Crawley VW have someone they use also, as mine had a repair done by then when they damaged the rear, again a good job, but as they paid, I don't know how much it cost.

Thanks for posting this,
I am also looking for a high quality paint shop in the Mid Sussex area for stone chip work on my bonnet and front bumper, I have read good things about Baldocks accident repair centre in Ditchling, but have no first hand experience.

Best Regards,

I think I'm more inclined to go for respray if under £400

Depends how good the individual is who does the repair - as with any job some people are better at it than others. I scraped the edge of my rear bumper [not badly] and let Chipsaway have a go, it cost me £110, the repaired area was excellent but there was a slight shadow where the spraying ended. I polished this out myself and now I defy anyone to tell it's been repaired. A full bumper respray should cost around £350.

That is a South yorkshire price Rock; someone reversed into the GTI I used to have and I had the bumper resprayed, it cost just under £350 inc VAT.
