I need some advice guys. I've just bought a 01 Renault Laguna and it's in perfect nick apart from two very small but equally annoying scratches on the bumper. One of them looks like something dug into the bumper taking away a bit of the material. The other one is just a tiny scratch like the ones you get from driving the car too close to a wall. Is there any way to fix it? Thanks

The two options I see are to try it yourself with a paint kit from a motor-factors or else call somebody like ChipsAway to do a good repair on it. The latter will be more expensive, but you'll get a perfect result.

I saw a company called ScuffMaster doing great work on bumpers and they had a mobile service, so you could look them up.

Thanks Brian,

From what you say doing the job myself could lead to eventually having to call these guys anyway besides there's the issue of the material missing from the bumper which I think wouldn't be restored by simply using the paint kit. I'll give them a call and see how much it's going to cost me.

Mosquito,

Did you get any decent prices with regards to the repairs? I'm just curious as I don't know what the cost is these days.
