So sorry to hear this Martin. Bloody annoying especially with parking sensors beeping away. My car kills all sounds when engaged in reverse and I never park whilst on the phone or drive for that matter(try and avoid). Tony is fab.
I wish he can teach the VW bodyshop how to paint bumpers! Mine has to go back for the 5th time next week. :sick:
I am still The Bumper Bandit! :lipsealed:
Car Love is a Many Splendoured Thing but bloody costly.
I think I am going to install Bull Bars front and rear + a tow bar for protection!
Hope you get it fixed perfectly.

Thanks for pointing that out Mike, I have taken your boll*cking on board and I promise to rectify my dirty exhaust tips first thing in the morning.

Once again, I apologise for my slackness in this department   :smiley:

Just seen the picture of the chip.
I had one in exactly the same place on my old bumper and touched it up. It was exactly the same size and shape too, mah dear. :wink:

Could you really see it after you touched it up? I'm so fussy........ I just want it to be as perfect as possible without spraying the bumper?

Martin, I could not see it easily after I touched it up. I showed this to Tony and he felt it was not worth spraying.

I would suggest you carefully touch it up and if you feel it is not obvious anymore, leave it.

The good thing is it is below line of sight. The bad thing is you know it is there. :sad:

I thought Chips Away were expensive when i went there for my Alloy Referbishment.

Are they the ones based at the Roundstone?

Their Head Office is in Kidderminster.

They operate a Nationwide Franchise. Don't know anything about their wheel refurbishment or prices for this.

Anyway, good work costs good money, I suppose. :rolleyes:
