Scratched Bumper
Hi all, Well after giving my car its first ever wash and hand polish yesterday i was dead chuffed. That was untill i went over a F*****G speed bump to fast and scraped the bottom of my bumper. Im so gutted i cant belive it, i havent even had the car a week. What can i do about it? DIY? Bodyshop repair? If so how much? Anyone here able to fix it up?

Halfords paint match is awful i'd rather drive around with the scratch still visible tbh, rather than trust them to f** up me car.
