Hi,

I was involved in a minor bump with a Matiz a couple of days ago - I know it's a bit of a "how long is a piece of string" question but does anyone have any guesstimates on the cost of repair for this;



Sorry for the blurry picture - it's a 2005 Chevrolet Matiz, it has popped the rear fog light out and there is no damage to anything but the bumper, although the paintwork has some fairly deep scratches in it - impact speed was <5mph.

Thanks for any advice.

I cant see any picture, but from what you are saying it may be cheaper to keep your eye on ebay for a bumper of the correct colour and just swap it over. Ive not looked but you could probably pick one up for £50ish.

ahhh can see it now, its repairable. If it were me id be charging about 150-170 to repair it.

If you've got a heat gun get out there and heat the area up and 'massage' it back to its memory form (to some extent anyway, the top crease looks quite sharp)

A great start getting into body repair! Get stuck in!!!!!
