Default Scuff on front bumber

Hello guys, well it was inevetable, ran over some road litter (platic I think) and has deeply scratched the feront bumper on my MY11 WRX. It's only small however does any one have any experience in getting this sort of stuff removed/fixed?

Thanks.

Sorry to hear about that. It sucks.
I am currently at the panel beaters with my MY11 STi getting a quote after the buggers last week broke in and damaged the interior.

Would expect some bog and paint should do the trick!
I'm still thinking about what to do with the pot hole scars on my front bumper.
It actually adds character

Need to delete those fog lights as well

Delete the fog lights? You on crack? To me that is a little what the WRX is about. Blue, scoop and fog lights. Thinking of getting an STi rear spoiler as well!

Get a blue chip stick for the time being, but the painters will fix that up in a few hours easy.

*Waves*

Scratches are too deep and past the point of being able to be restored

Should be a fairly inexpensive fix however for a spray painter

Shouldn't need any 2pac putty to fix that, a nice even sand with a dynabrade will get that back to original shape. It just depends whether you want to have the bumper spotted up or completely resprayed.

Dealership will quote for respray but spot up 'just bare that in mind'.
