Chips/scuffs On Bumper Help

Hi

I have decided to keep my car for a bit longer so want to fix a little damage to front bumper driver side.

I have damage to the plastic area under the headlight, scuffs and small chips, would chips away be a good bet? I've never used them so don't know what there like.

Also I would like to replace the drivers side headlight unit as inside the unit is a burn smudge as if a bulb has got very hot, it's where the sidelight is so it's not a big deal but if I could get a headlight unit cheap, just not sure where to look?

So can anyone recommend chips away and a place to get a headlight unit for a mk2.5.

Many thanks

    Hi Steve

    put some pics up of the damage - chips away should be able to sort it out, if not then a bodyshop should but costs will rise!

    headlights can be found cheap enough on ebay and they are a doddle to change.

    As said throw up some pics!

    You could always buy a second hand headlight unit and get it restored by a detailer, generally costs are £25 and turns out like new again!

    Hi

    Thanks, I will try to get some pics up over the weekend, I was thinking about ebay for the headlight assembly but I will probably buy the wrong headlight knowing me.
