Craig I used these guys http://www.dentzap.co.uk/ for my wifes bumper that was really badly scraped as she'd rubbed her car against a step!!
The repair is invisible. I was well impressed. £70 and that was done at my home one night then he came back the next to buff it up.
Their website is pretty poor but nice couple of guys. (Father and son). The father does the work and is an actual spray painter during the day so knows what he's doing.

Thanks P3asa. I've contacted the chips away guy tonight for an estimate but if he can't do it for whatever reason or it's too expensive then I'll try your guy. Thanks fella  :smiley: :smiley:

The smart repairs are normally spot on - I'd be looking into the price for a new lower grille though, especially on a car that is that new (and looks that good!)

Sh1t happens unfortunately. I had a minor incident with my front bumper but in a much more obvious place, up near the headlight washer cap. The body shop were able to do a relatively localized spray job and it's perfect, you'd never tell. White is apparently good for colour matching too.

With that damage being so low down and mostly on the lower splitter, a very localized repair should sort it. The grill should be relatively cheap to replace if you really wanted to.

Each to their own but there's absolutely no need to fork out for a new bumper - this is an easy fix!

I have no intentions of buying a new bumper if i can avoid it. I'd much prefer just to get it repaired and avoid the hassle and expense of going through an insurance company.

I've got a guy coming out tomorrow to assess it and hopefully give a decent price to repair.  :smiley:

Yikes, I'm hoping to avoid that type of bill Mark
