Graham, if you end up with a duplicate silverstone numberplate holder, drop me a PM and perhaps we can do a deal Mine has some small impact marks where I think someone must have reversed into me and pushed the numberplate holder in when the car was just a few days old

On the very subject of bumpers I am going to need to get a new front one. Someone very kindly has left a 1" square door in the front of my bumper and they then kindly forgot to mention it before leaving the car park.

I thought Honda had slashed their prices recently IIRC and things like bumpers were down by 40%?

As I said, I can wait - it's very minor damage that you only really spot when you know it's there or are looking for it.
Graham....if it's barely noticeable, is it worth replacing now?

Sod's law, as soon as you replace it, someone will bump into it again.

It was me wot did it

Happened about 6 months ago so I've put up with it for a while. I'll be getting Dentmaster out soon to deal with 3 or 4 dings around the car now the crash damage has been done. Kind of "refreshing" the car, if you know what I mean.

Bumper : 187.40 + VAT
Labour : 132.50 + VAT
Paint etc : 91.46 + VAT

A total of

I need to get a couple of dings fixed - one done by me yesterday

If you can get to the Guildford area next week, may be possible to get both cars done at the same time

And save us both a few bob
