    L caught a high curb yesterday, if I send it into Mercedes if will cost an arm and leg to get fixed, the plastic is not that badly scratched and I guess will sand / polish out but then it will need repainting and as its a colour from the MB designo range it might be difficult to match. Anyone vehicle bodywork people with any bright ideas please:

    I have a cracking person that comes and makes our cars look pretty before going back to lease company but he's in Stafford . He paints a full bumper for £150 and he's brilliant . Have you give it a good t cut clean usually takes some of the pain away

    I'm a mercedes technician. Where abouts do you live? If you live close by I could get you a good quote from the bodyshop. If you need any help with it let know.

    Cheap fix would be to get some 3M Carbon wrap and cut a suitably designed piece out for both sides of the bumper! ;)

    Thanks for the advice guys will get some T cut at the weekend then give it a polish and see how it looks then and take a view on how to proceed afterwards. Women Drivers! If she does it again and it’s getting traded for a Discovery 4. Let’s see her curb one of those.
