take it to a shop if the scrape is deep enough. If the shop tells you that they'd have to repaint the whole bumper, go to another place. shouldn't cost more than 100 pounds to fix a small scrape

If it'snot too bad, you can go to the dealership and get the touch up paint. It won't be perfect but it would help, and deffinately less expensive. OR do like i did and live with it and after a few years and a 100 more scratches, get the whole car repainted. I didn't repaint mine yet but in a few years I might do it.

Does it bother you like crazy? Because if not, just leave it as it is, since it really might not be worth it to fix it.

you are bound to get a ding, scratch, scrape, etc... it's gonna happen no matter how careful you are. after my first couple scratches (it hurt to look at them ) it really didn't matter anymore. it seems the more careful you are, the more it happens.

When someone hit my bumper and drove off, I used clear coat body scrub to take off the paint left there. I just ended up with some scratches, but my car's silver so less noticable.
