I got a scratch (d’oooh…!) on my front bumper, it’s about the area of two fingernails and has a few faint scratch lines around it… The car colour is black, so the bumper’s internal colour – white – really stands out and looks really bad… :(

Do you think I should get it professionally repaired ? (if yes… where ? cost ?)

…or should I try one of the ‘repair it yourself’ kits (i.e. Halfords) ? Would it be easy to repair it myself? Does anybody here have done this before?

Thanks

Depends what the car is? If you have gone down to the primer, which I am presuming you have if you can see white bits the DIY kit ain't much use.

it's a ford focus (2000 model) metalic black

Don't bother trying to repair it yourself, these kits in my experience never work well and will always look like a quick fix job.

You will get a great job done if you take it to the main dealerships bodyshop, you will also get a great BIG invoice too.

Chips-Away will do a superb job and make it look like it was never there in the first place.

I used this guy when I worked for Gilders VW and never had any problems at all with the quality of work.

He can work at your home or alternatively at your work address.
