Yep Front bumper is battle scared :'(, So is moulding on n/s/r quarter. it was used as a large Van by last owner to haul paving slabs and garden rubbish for a year.

Only panel that lets it down is the poorly sprayed Bonnet.

do the sanding yourself (first 150 grid sandpaper than pass with 400 or 800-until you think surface is perfect) , if you can, clear all stone chips and scratches (if any) until you reach the protector coat (ie first level) and let it painted by a professional :y
