Scuffs?
 
was out cleanin the saxo this morning, and noticed on the front bumper and bottom lip, there seems to be like scuffs in the black plastic bumper..
tried takin fotos with my camera fone, as my digi cam isnt about the house today.. but my fones bein gay, and isnt savin fotos..
so ive found a pic of someone elses saxo, and circled the bits of the bumper where ive found to be scuffed..



Its the black plastic area which has been affected, and i wonder is there any way of fixing this, without having to replace the bumper?

Hope yous can help, cheers :y:

Bodyshop may be able to sort it, but unsure on a cost.

I had some deepish marks on my astra's bumpers and i did them myself....

I fill'd the marks with a bit of filler and smoothed it right in using my fingers....

Then just smoothed it over with a bit of sand paper...

I painted it with some bumper black paint but it looked out of place as it was smooth, and the bumper was textured, so i dabbed it with my finger as it dried and it gave it a ripple effect...

Was fairly easy and didnt look too bad... although theres probably a better way to do it.

When all else fails, use your fingers ;)

will hve to paint the whole black part

yatesy got his sprayed and they look good but didnt have to repair them

depending on how big the scruff are to weather how easy or if at all repairable it will be

might be more cost effectve to get a bumper in same colour though

Ok update,
went out this morning with the digi cam i got back last night.
took a couple of pics, just to make the problem a bit more clearer..
the scuffs arent deep into the bumper, there isnt any need for filler or anythin..
just the black stuff seems to have come off somehow..
anyone know how id go about fixin it?
if it could be a DIY job, then thats far better, but i wouldnt know where to start with paint etc..
what colour, and where i could get it!
if anyone knows, id appreciate it :y:
heres the photos:
