How do you guys cope with the chipped bumper and bonnet on your new car? I feel annoyed and heartache everytime i find out more and more....

As fishboy says "buy buy buy......"

I try not to look but maybe you can consider a car bra or bonnet protector if you get a lot.

i have a massive one my front bumper.........i just live with it, although if u have touch up paint, u can apply a few layers and cover the hole back up - thats what i have read on detailing forums anyway..........otherwise wait until u get a whole bunch and get a respray :lol:

..............but yea, they p!55 me off big time, what p155es me off more is the big scrape on the bottom of my back bumper

.........luckily its underneath the car so u can't see it unless u look under the bumper :lol:

I think the worst thing is those bl00dy idiots open their doors and put a dent/chip on your door or side panel. :evil:

yes, i hate them ignorant people opening their doors into other people's cars :evil:

..........i have a small door dint on my driver side door, but not caused by some opening their door into mine, but me trying to be ronaldihno and miss kicking the ball into the car :shock:

I've come to the realisation that it's going to happen. I've got quite a few car park scars and stone chips etc. I figure I'll just get them all fixed in one go before I sell.

lol how you know i was gonna say that?

my solution to a chipped bumper was to get a new one

I know that doesn't really help but mine was cracked.

Not sure if you are aware of the Langka Complete Paint Chip Repair Kit

I haven't actually tried this product but I intend to get it at some stage.
Basically you fill the chip with original paint and you can then smooth it back with the 'blob eliminator'!!
Check out the site below

Oh yeah, aren't perth pple the worst when it comes to this! i always try and find side parking when ever i can.

With the stone chips - i just live with it. There are pple who do touch ups for chips and scratches - there's a place somewhere in ozzy park that do that kind of work on exotic cars.

I don't like the car bras - it looks crap and you end up covering up something that you'll never see...i'd rather 'collect' a few stone chips.

i have scratches along the passenger side of the bumper where someone rubbed up against me the first week i had the car, i had quotes to get it resprayed but was far from happy with the 500 buck quote i got to get it fixed... so now i just heavily squint when i wash it so i cant quite see it well enough

I think its on one of the streets that run off Hutton. Forgive me for being vague but i've only once seen the shop once many years ago and only in passing.

You might find it in the yellow pages - scratch repairs /paint repairs something along those lines?

Does anyone know of a repairer in Sydney that will repair paint chips/small scratches on bumper bars ?

My oldies have a 01 Liberty and it has a few problems that I want to get fixed for them.

Can anyone recommend someone who will do a good job etc ??

Cheers
