A few months back I was a little careless in my Scirocco when reversing in a carpark and reversed at low speed into a transit van with massive bullbars on the front. You know that sinking feeling you get when you hear the crunch
The damage is all restricted to the rear bumper. It's not massively obvious but it is very annoying. There are a few scuffs on the paint there and there's a tear in the fibreglass material about an inch or two long.
Should I attempt to get it repaired or will it be better to get someone to replace the whole bumper ? VW or not VW ? (Car is November 09 so there's a year and a bit of warranty to go).

I have a suspicion that that kind of money isn't too far away from getting VW to replace the bumper itself.
I would think you're looking at twice that at least, possibly nearer a thousand to replace a scirocco rear bumper. My wife had her Yaris rear bumper replaced 3 years ago and that set the insurers back £550.
Pranged my wifes Corsa and split the bumper quite badly and dented tailgate, local body shop "stitched" bumper together and filled and sprayed and did great job- cost me £150- get another quote
I had my front bumper repaired a few months back. Filled and painted - £175 at an approved VW bodyshop. Brilliant job, you cant see a mark and paint match is perfect.

Had a respray on the rear bumper of my C Class recently at a cost of £150 (cause - car park retard). Can't see why it shouldn't be around that figure.
