Would it not be easier / cheaper to source a replacement bumper in the right colour :)

It is not that hard of repair ,it would mainly be down the the prep work, it will be a full hit on the nose cone, unsure if there would be a need to blend in to the other panels? cannot comment on cost ,it is not my area, but i have texted Garath to jump in ,he will know better than anyone buddy. :handgestures-thumbup:

Cheers Wayne, much appreciated.

I have been sniffing around on eBay for a new one, and I have seen a couple in silver, just worried they won't be an exact match. I did let one slip that looked in great condition for £30.

Mk 1 nose cone should match as they only did one silver which was siver stone (3L) :handgestures-thumbup:

The cheapest option would be to find a bumper in the right colour, assuming you can fit it yourself

To repair and paint your existing bumper would be around £220 plus vat
