Elroy jnr has had his first hiccup driving and damaged his bumper. It's creased the plastic, and while a lot has polished out, the graze goes all the way to the bottom of the bumper. With the crease, is it suitable for a chipsaway type repair and what's it likely to cost. I don't want to waste a guys time getting a quote if it's going to be in the hundreds.

Damaged the wing as well.
Yes, appears suitable for SMART repair & I'd suggest you get one to have a look & give you a quote based on actually having seen it.

Yes it will be in the hundreds, otherwise there would be no use what so ever of being in business.
I would be looking at around £220 for that repair, but im not mobile.
You may get someone on the cheap but make sure they are by referral rather than by the cheapest quote.

One quote so far of £310 by the well known franchise people. Might just leave it for now as it's not likely to be the last
