Scratch advice :(

Post by scottjack »

:cry:

Hi everyone, just seeing what my options are for this, whether to:
Will the last guy be able to get this out or does it looks more work than those type of repair places do? Reckon I'll need a new bumper? This is the first time I've done this to a car. Just scratched it right down my parents wall when reversing off it. :mad:

Think I've made more damage when I've had to drive forward to come back onto the drive. As you can see under the arch/edge of the paintwork is pretty badly done to.

Cheers

oh no scott :cry:

can't help on who to try but can tell you vw would probably make you sell a kidney to fix it, you could give chips away a try too.
can't hurt to at least get a quote from 1 or 2 & see if they think they can get a decent result

A decent bodyshop should be able to sort that rather than replace the whole bumper. Personally I'd take it to a proper bodyshop rather than using a smart repair company on something like that.

Dont use smart repairs for that, will never look right imo, get a proper body shop to quote you, try and find a recommended one by someone who has used them

I had a scratch just like that (but longer and deeper in places) on the front bumper of my golf when i neglected to see a collapsed wall!

Chips Away repaired it and you could never tell.

If you live near Coventry then I can't recommend Perfect Finish enough. Their service, attitude and finished product is excellent.

I've got it booked in with a local body shop after a recommendation. £120 they've estimated so a lot less than I thought it would be (I was expecting probably double that).

Just hope they do as good a job as I think they will.
