Graze to plastic part of front bumper - any cures?
Managed to graze the front of my bumper (the non-painted part). Is there anything you can do to get rid of scuffs on this material, without replacing the part?

That's encouraging - email sent to request a quote!
I parked frontways in to unload the boot (for a change) at work, and got too close to our newly built brick wall! Thought I was ok, but then switched off, suspension went to access height, along with a horrible scraping sound!
I know... what an utter prat!!!

I once backed out of a parking bay in my D4 too quickly for the sensors to tell me I was getting close to an obstacle….the parking payment meter. Totally wrecked it….the meter. My local body repair shop ‘popped’ the plastic corner back into position…but wanted to replace the bumper which seemed an unnecessary expense.
I did however get Chips away to take out the scratch and indent left in the bumper corner….more to hide the telltale evidence than cosmetic perfection.
I must have been the toast of the town for 2months till the machine was repaired and free parking ended.
I was too modest to widely publicise my heroic stand against motoring costs.
They placed a bollard in front of the repaired meter. -

I didn’t stop to look.
All I recall is this structure ‘doubled up’ in pain as if it had been thumped in the stomach, viewed in the rear view mirror as I swiftly drove away. When I got home , the wife uttered those immortal words “hope there weren’t any cctv cameras there”.
I went past the scene of the crime next day, not to offer my confession but to double check there weren’t any cameras.
The wife (bless her) then said “you had to put your registration in the machine….could they trace you?”
That’s when I sold it and bought the D5.
The wife then ………“STOP right there.” I screamed “I am not going to change my name, move house or anymore to protect my record and reputation. If they track me down I shall plead insanity.
Buying a D5 should be proof enough” -
