Purchased my DSport DS3 just over 2 months ago, and the rear bumper has a large bumper scuff, and a few hairline crack along the length, obvs a minor bump as I checked out the below and all was straight
Got it for a real good price, and knew there was time before Winter to get it done
Have had 3 quotes, all around £150 for at home repair of just the scuff, and another £190 + VAT at a new body shop close to one of my offices. Whole bumper respray.
Then I had a friend of a friend quote almost exactly the top amount, although thought "private" jobs would be cheaper
So do I go for a cash job without any paperwork or guarantee, or a proper invoiced and VAT job
Oh.... and there is another minor bump on front wing where the Mrs used it to go shopping!!! But that's another story, and another £80 I reckon. LOL.

It think in the long run it would be the sensible choice, so you can go back and get it put right for nothing if its not up to...... erm...... scratch.....
