front bumper paint chipping

Postby manchesterAndy » Sat Feb 05, 2011 3:01 pm

hi again

my car is in pretty good condition but the front bumper has a plastic grey/silver band across it by the number plate and because of motoway use it has chipped alot of the paint
and makes the car look abit cheap

i was wondering what would be best

buy a new part for it (if possible) or get the paint brush out?

any ideas?

ive put up a picture off google so you can see what part i mean:

hi you can buy new bumper mouldings on ebay around £30 per side unpainted obv, but if you keep your eye out you might find them in grey of another car

They unclip quite easily (especially as you would not be bothered about keeping the old ones.

You can get the paint from ebay [url](https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Scenic-Espace-Lag ... 5d2d5f900f[/url]) i got some for my parking sensors and it is a perfect match.
