so, after a little skirmish with a rarther jagged wall this morning, my bumper (off-side, on the corner bend) has a little less paint & plastic on it than before. [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img][img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img][img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
what I wana know is, what's the best way to repair it ?
it's too nakard for just a touchup pen. so would the old car body filler be the best option & then re-spray that corner , if I can get away with just that bit!
or
is it time to take the whole thing off & get all the little stone chips smoothed & painted over ?

Andy,
yeah .. only been done 5 minutes & ever time I look at it it sticks out like a sore thumb !
only just put my STI4 splitter on too .. but it missed that (even
tho it sticks out further !!!)
mayb after my 90k service (& when the CC recovers!) I'll look into it ...
time for a change to a 22b bummer & '00 grill maybe !

22b bummer sounds good sorry couldn't resist.
Well if it makes you feel better when I had my bumper repaired I put on a £200 splitter, 2 months later I didn't see a low bar in a carpark, result, f___ing tears m8 !
Get it fixed up good

PS Splitter now back on
