"OH no!!!!!! " Back bumper !!!!

[TheEdge]

Just got back from town with my 1st bottle of NXT car wash to notice a quarter of my back bumper ( passenger side where it bends round ) has been scraped no sign of the culprit checked with the neighbours not a sausage !!! quite annoyed !! and will get qutoes next week and its my birthday tomorrow !!! any one had any quotes for any cash in hand work? the bumper isnt dented cracked just the paint has been removed about A4 size !!! !!!!

Is this a job for Chips away or do you think a bodyshop is needed !! I know mljh had his smacked recently !!

thanks all

because its plastic and on the corner bumper a mobile repairer may be able to blend it in good. It doesnt look like metallic paint so thats a plus.

find a good one though. either a really good mobile repairer and any ordinary panel shop. shouldnt take more than 1-2 days.

thanks mate for the information the bumper is cracked in one place as well about 10 inches around the bend of the bumper! in total, ive read about plastic welding repairs im not planning on a new bumper and im definitey going back to VW, nothing else has been snapped or dented. Hopefully get a quote on Tuesday !!

thanks

I think I would be tempted to go down the SMART repair route initially. Quality varies depending on the operator so recommendations essential in my opinion.

I've heard previous good reports from these guys although never had personal need to use them:

Little Knocks Vehicle SMART Repair Centre - specialists in tackling the scuffs, scrapes and accidental damage your car suffers in everyday driving, view before and after examples of our work

Let us know how you get on. I'd imaging a new bumper would be very costly. Are you sure that there is no damage behind? It sounds to have take a fair whack.
