Hi everyone!

Ok so iam in 2 minds - iam not sure what to do - i have a bump on the front and a few on the back - but thing is...they arent major and i reckon with the right kit i could maybe fix them OR i buy a new front and rear bumper (btw the rear bumber is only the bottom section of it....u know like the "tin" type bit under the actual rear bumper)

First question how much could i find the front/rear for approx

Second do you think this is possibly a home job?

Front bumper is not an easy home fix.

Your probably looking at something like £100 for the repair. Probably better off finding another one in the same colour, would be the cheapest way.

Hmm...thing is its ONLY the bottom bit thats doin the damage - so if i get that bump knocked in a little bit everything will fall into place?

Btw also sorry guys - do you know what like....tool is needed to get the bumper off? it looks like an allen key...but its not lol?

Think you need a torx head screwdriver. Quite common- usually supplied with multiple head screwdriver sets.
