Bumper respray sussex?
« 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.

If it only a small repair, you could try one of the mobile units, Chipsaway in Crawley did a very good job on a scratch on my front bumper (expensive though at £160).

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.

Hi,
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,

How good are these mobile repairs? Can you see the damage at all?

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.
