Here's hoping 🤞

You will probably need a bodyshop to put that right if you want a top job.

I've spent so much getting this car through the MOT just recently, this is the last thing I need 😭

That's going to take an industrial size bottle of "T Cut" 🙁

Seriously that's a £200+ bodyshop repair job.

My wife says im stupid parking in the quiet parts of the supermarket car parks, but this is precisely why i do it. I never ever leave my Focus alone in the car park, anywhere. I always sit in it and let her do her thing. Nobody is going to hit my car if im in it and if they do, well 20st of angry scotsman is going to get the repair costs out of them.

It's got to be worth me getting some just to see how well it comes out before what could be a huge bill? Is it good to use on bumpers?

Haha, I don't know where it's happened but I am guessing in the multi storey today. Only noticed it when I got home tonight having stopped twice on the way home.

I'm bigger than you matey but wouldn't mess with a scotsman 😉

It will make yours look a little better, but you are missing quite a lot of paint

I'll have another look in the morning in the daylight. I think the black picks off but the rest, I doubt...

TBH im all mouth and no trousers lol. But i do think my presence acts as a deterrent to idiot drivers who quite frankly dont give a fig for your car, the evil eye usually works lol.

I've polished it out the best I can but I'll have to get it done professionally at some stage...

Not quite so urgent now but but really peed off 🤬

Is it just Moondust silver?  You could probably pick up a tidy rear bumper for around £50 from a breakers if you keep a casual lookout.  The Zetec S lower valance can be swapped over, the actual bumper is the same on both.
