Basically the place said to me they can sort where the damage is and fade it it and that was estimated at £582. Then I though I'd ask about getting a new bumper and having it sprayed like brand new that was £635 then trying to flog this bumper for the difference if someone could do something with it. I contacted my local chips away guy and he said he needs to see it but it would certainly be £450+
Its madness, I'll be sticking with white after this but I will be having a flat white none of this pearlescent, it's too costly
Saying that if people had the decency to leave details I'd be ok.
I have the exact same paint.
I've used three bodyshops. None could get an exact match. All blaming it on the paint. I blame it on their lack of skill.
I have a smart repair guy manage it, but he won't touch it now as his supply of that paint changed and he has no idea how it would differ.
I mean I dont know ir its just easier to have a complete new bumper than I'll have less problems.

Then phone the police and report them for leaving the scene of an accident. See what comes from that.

I basically posted on here not too long ago about damage done to my car. I've had several different quotes from £200 and £360. All the independent places I've looked at have good reviews but should I stay away from the cheaper place and go for the place charging £360 barring in mind it's a 3 stage pearl?
What would you do if you was in this situation? Cheers guys!

Cant see the linked picture but £160 is nothng in the grand scheme of things of car ownership, I would go off the reputation / reviews of the place more than price
That's my thing all have 5 stars from the reviews of which they've got on their FB page and just on Google. So do I go with the cheaper or more expensive I dont know. I was told to ask what paint the garage uses and they said PPG i think it was.
Cheers
