On a car that is 3-years old, that has damage to the bumper, which would cost around £150 to fix, would I be better to look at buying a second-hand bumper in the same colour??

It is a pearl-black metallic (laquered?).

With repainting I am concerned with the paint not matching fully, and am wondering if the chances of it looking 100% are better by fitting a bumper from a different car if the costs were roughly the same?

 

i'll tell you in a couple of days. i'm also having a bumper off a 3 year old car sprayed up

 

You would be lucky to find another car with the same shade as your own tbh, even although it looks the same from a distance, once fitted it can look a million shades different. Best bet is to get it sprayed by a good painter who should be able to match.

 

What did beccy hit?

 

You'll be lucky to match a pearlcoat!
