Hello,
.
I'm getting my car ready to sell. It has usual wear and tear but otherwise completely fine. The two outstanding things are the front bumper and rear drivers side alloy.

I got quoted £160 for the alloy. Haven't got a quote for front bumper. Complete novice with these kinds of things.

Anyone advise? Is the front bumper scratch something I could fix myself?

I wouldn't worry about the wheel, 99% of buyers appear to view kerb rash or corrosion as completely normal.

A 'smart' repair person local to you would rectify the bumper graze at a reasonable cost. Otherwise leave it as it is and be prepared to knock a little money off the asking price as it would be a negotiating point for a prospective buyer.

Cheers,

Chris

As per Summit Detailing, although a pain and annoying I wouldn't worry about the alloy, well at least for £160... the joys of diamond cut...

Local Smart repairer but a good one who won't have the bumper looking a completely different colour to the rest of the car

As above leave the wheel - to get it re-diamond cut will be pricey and will also mean it will look different compared to the rest.
