    Looks a lot better, would really need to see it from original angle to check it is right though, but certainly much better than Stevie Wonder Bodyworx who done the first paint job ;)

    It seems a perfect colour match to me!

    The peeps at the bodyshop were shocked at the bumper...said its the worst paint match they have ever seen!

    Suprised the previous owner accepted it in that state tbh!

    Hmmm well I took my car in for its annual service and whilst the mechanic was inspecting the bodywork he told me that the bumper was flaking in the corner, which I have just seen :eek:

    Anyone know why this has happened? Do I have to get the entire bumper reprayed? It looks like white primer underneath.

    Thanks
