   Rear bumper and front bumper have a bit of paint flaking off. What's best way to get it nice again? Re spray it's a black mk 2 vtr

   I've got a small amount of paint flaking on my rear bumper. I'm just on the look for a mint second hand one, far cheaper and easier than getting it resprayed, just a case of keeping an eye out.

   Yeah maybe that's the best option!

   Yeah it's cheaper and in most cases a better colour match.

   As above a mint second hand bumper will be the best to match the colour and will cost no more than £50 per bumper. I even thought about vinyl wrapping my car as it should only cost £150 to DIY and with patience it looks amazing.

   Respray. Also if your paint is flaking, wrapping it with vinyl won't help a great deal, as soon as you pull it off your paint will come with it
