In trying to park at the far end of a car park (away from anything), there was a huge lump of stone within some overgrown grass that has scuffed the rear bumper and the exhaust tip.

Before getting it painted professionally (someone will scuff it again anyway), I'm going to see if I can tidy it up myself. Are there any recommendations on how to smooth out the roughened edges of the scarred bumper before I ScratchX and touch up the area?

As for the exhaust tip, if I decide it needs replacing, do the oval tips fit on easily or not and does anyone have a recommended supplier? I've looked at Hardtopguy's site, but there is no international delivery listed.

 

If the plastic's gone 'hairy', flat it off with wet & dry.

You can flat off the paint edges the same way. Then apply lots of coats of touch-up.

Again, you can flat in with W&D, once it's really dried through, bfore polishing.

It's probably worth a practice, even if you are gonna get it blown in.

 

If you are using wet and dry get hold of some 1500, 2500 or 3000 grit via ebay.com

 

Thanks for that. I'll pop down to Halfords tomorrow and get started.

 

The oval tips fit, but you have to cut a bit off the existing exhaust that the tip covers.
