    Depending where it is exactly you might be able to fix easily ...also white is a easier color to repair.

    Definitely a respray, unless your shop is good at "blending" it in enough so you can't tell.

    Sorry to hear, I agree as well that might need to respray the whole bumper from the pic. I hope you get it worked out

    My gf had the same kind of damage all over her range rover they never re-painted the whole panel just the damaged bit the place that did it has gone now.

    I used littleknocks in Middlesex a few years ago and I was really impressed with work tho It wasn't a car worth anything near A R8

    You need to make sure your insurance doesn't find out else your insurance will go through the roof
