    Bumper scuff

    Some clown hit my Williams outside work the other day, scuffed the rear bumper and took a big chip out of the plastic bump strip......

    Can anyone recommend a decent company to sort this, preferably in the N/W area, I want it sorting asap as it ruins an otherwise mint car!

    Cheers

    Possibly an option mate, don't think it's bad enough to warrant a new bumper though....depends how much it costs to fix I suppose...

    I bet it will be cheaper certainly to get a new bumper...

    Maybe, he's giving a quote for the work so I'll decide from there, how much is a new bumper?

    It would be cheaper for a new bumper if:

    It was mint,
    Could fit it yourself.

    The best option is to get yours sorted even if its more as the hassle of fitting and finding one will be too much.

    Quick update on this...

    For those who are interested I got the work done yesterday by Rob O'Neill and I am very pleased with the results, he managed to get the paint match spot on and you can't see any of the damage that was there. I didn't take any pics in the end but it's a very good job and I'd recommend Rob. His contact details are below:

    Oh and he charged £75 which I think is reasonable, he spent a good few hours on the car...his work is also guaranteed for 12 months.
