Argument with a concrete post
In my haste to turn the car round last night in what is an unfeasibly small space outside my house I managed to scrape the nearside corner of the rear bumper on a concrete fence post.
Whereas this now matches the scrape on the nearside front bumper (!) I've never been one for symmetry so I need a recommendation of a good mobile repairer in the Nottingham/Derby area, does anyone have one?
ChipsAway are the favourites at the moment but only because they have gone to the trouble of building a website whereas none of the other local ones seem to have bothered.

If they are big scrapes then maybe a full respray of both bumpers would be better. www.scoobyclinic.com would be IRO £100 per bumper, 3 coats and lacquered. Top guys who'll do a top job
Chesterfield ain't too far from you either.

Thanks Corradoboy. They are relatively minor scrapes (although with the mood I was in last night you would have thought it was a write off!) just taken the paint off and very slightly gouged out some plastic which is why I was hoping for a quick mobile repair. I'll definately bear Scoobyclinic in mind though.

Not sure about Chips Away quality (although prob down to operator), 4 attempts to match my silver to blow in a scuffed bumper, finishe was dull and within a few months paint is starting to flake off, I'll be going for a full bumper paint soon!

hi
try the company i work for, (the scratch repair company) im sure the derby area is covered by matt, were using a new laquer now which is far superior to any of the 1k laquers that the majority of mobile repair companies use, the website is www.scratchrepairs.co.uk or the freephone number is : 0800 068 0238
