I'm hoping theres a cheap way to get out of this one:

my front & rear bumpers have never looked crash hot. Stone chips, slight cracks, plastic striping losing 'cling wrap' etc....

my missus just went and bumped a fence with bumper.. now theres a slight crack around some of the mountings...

now bumpers going to start to fall off...

now, if I had an executive or whatever with out two tone, i suppose it would'nt be quite so expensive. because theres cracks in plastic i take it i'll have to buy new/secondhand bumpers, and repaint.

surely theres someone thats been through this...

Panel beaters can actually fix cracks in bumpers they have like plastic welding machines. So go to your local panel beater and get a quote.

Or if your a smart arse u could weld up the cracks with a hot soldering iron. my parents got a new bumper for their vs after sum kids rolled it down the driveway and it hit a tree. no more than 2 weeks after the new bumper sum fool in the car park hit it and cracked it n stuff . soldering iron did the trick . just needs to be filled with a poxy glue, sanded and repainted.

With my car i have some chips in the front bumper and I have the problem where it looks like the pain wants to start flaking off. I havent done anyhitng about it yet but I know it will be expensive to get it sprayed. So ill just wait til i need to get other stuff sprayed.
Mine is also a Vs Calais S1

because calais is two tone metallic i imagine painting costs for a professional finish will be higher...
