where they do a localised repair, and instead of painting your whole bumper.. theyll just cover the primer with the colour.. spray laquer over it.. and use fade out thinner or fade out spray so you cant see where its been "blown in"

if its pretty low down ide have it blown in myself, save alot of money and its not noticeable on a bumper anyway
Focus ST3 + proper Mini
Just scratched mine aswell. had a slight coming together with the nieghbours towbar. :0(
Got 2 scuffs about 1" max just above the passengerside fog light.
the joys of motoring.

ouch.
Looks about as deep as mine. Hope you get it sort soon and it aint too expensive.
Mini Cooper S sport
I did something similar on mine; it wasnt as deep, but further up (well, Im not entirely sure I did it, someone else may have done as I park on-street).
I ended up respraying part of the front bumper myself, and it looks OK, except the laquer hasnt come out very glossy at all. The whole left-hand corner of the bumper is now matte, so when the weather gets warmer Im going to have another go with the laquer.
I wish Id got it done properly now! Hope you get yours sorted soon Arianne, I know how annoying it is.
get a blow in done you wont be able to see it so low down.
get your missing splitter put on whilst your at it
I didnt get the splitter - my drive is too steep to get in and Ive already slightly scratched the underneath getting up it as it is...Quote: Originally posted by iceblue182 on 29 December 2004

I did exactly the same,parked into a kerb!my scratch was right at the bottom in the middle,thought I would do it myself,looks ok but only because of the position of the damage,gonna get a splitter so hopefully will mask it as well as improvin the look! I was well gutted when I did it! 2 years no accidents or marks then I decide to edge forward a bit too much.

if you got plenty of stonechips on the bumper ide just have the whole bumper painted for around 100 quid. if you aint too worried about it n just want it sorted, get it blown in for pretty cheap.
upto you really!
