Old bloke drove at me and tried 'squeezing through' his words. Fearing incase it went 50:50 and my ncb I looked at him and said 'on your way'. With hindsight I should have been tough but we'll tough.

Is it easy to user filler, sand then get maybe Chipsaway or self to spray?

How does someone try 'squeezing through' their words? Couldn't he open his mouth properly due to shock or was he remaining tight lipped?

Hi matey,
It looks a tough ask, for a first time diy repair. The 1/4 looks too out of shape. The bumper ideally needs to come off, to allow room to work and shape that 1/4.
There’s nowt like, on the job experience, so if you fancy a challenge, get your overalls on. If it was mine, I would be getting a few quotes off local body shops. I am a smart repairer, so can speak from my own experiences, and if you were my customer, I would point you in the direction of a body shop. Ed-Spray Shop Darlaston.

Your choices are either to DIY it all or pay someone to do it all.

I would be very surprised if you find a professional that would take on a half done job without stripping it all off & starting again, too many issues with what's been used, how it's been applied etc
