    Just looking for a bit of advice, I have a deep serated scratch about 6 inches long on my back bumber is it possible to get this repaired to factory standard, just worried that if I go to a local crash repair they will spray the whole bumper and it will look crap as the car gets older, any advice welcome.

    Smart repair or good bodyshop.
    If bodyshop was to paint bumper, there should be no issue.

    Bumper only?! That's what they are for - forget about it.

    I hope I'm never parked near you.. I guess you just keep going til you hear the bang when parking. That's what bumpers are for ya?

    No, I don't. But I am not going to cry over a scratch on a bit of plastic.
    Seriously - you're supposed to drive the car, not for masturbation... It is a bloody fridge...

    If it's a young timer, a classic or anything like that - that's a different story.

    I drive my car. I mean really drive it but I never take the corners off it. That's just bad diving.
