This is a repair carried out for a customer in Seaford, East Sussex. This rear wheel arch had a significant dent, and the adjacent bumper had suffered a scuff. We were able to repair the damage and refinish the affected area, matching the original paint, and blending into the factory finish for a seamless, invisible repair, at a cost considerably less than the customer's insurance excess.

From time to time we are asked to rectify a customer's DIY repair, which we are more than happy to do. Here we have one such example. A lady in Worthing, West Sussex asked a friend to repair the lower front bumper on her Honda Jazz, and here is the result: A valiant effort, but clearly visible. Our technician completely removed the old repair, which revealed a split in the plastic which needed to be properly bonded before continuing. The Chip Magic paint finish turned out to be an exact match for the factory colour as can be seen here:

We were asked to repair some relatively small damage caused by contact with a wall on the rear bumper of a new Ford KA. The car was finished in one of the new pearlescent colours called Scuba. We were able to repair the damage and match the factory finish for a top quality repair. Here is the result.

This is a repair we did recently for a lady in Eastbourne, East Sussex, on her 02 plate Rover. Although it was an older car, the low mileage and fantastic condition of the car deserved a top quality repair. We were happy to oblige.

This is a bumper scuff repair we carried out for a gentleman in Pagham, near Bognor Regis in West Sussex, at his home location. A BMW dealer had quoted hundreds of pounds for a new rear bumper to be painted and fitted at their bodyshop. We were able to carry out the repair for less than the customer's insurance excess, thus saving time, money and inconvenience.

We were asked if we could repair this damage on a Jaguar XF for a gentleman in Lewes, East Sussex. The impact had pushed the bumper in to the point where it came into contact with the steel bar behind it, wedging the plastic behind the bar and also splitting the plastic. A local bodyshop had told the customer that the whole bumper needed replacing.........not true! Our technician was able to repair the dent and bond the split, repainting the damaged area for a truly invisible repair, thus saving the customer a considerable amount of money.

This new model Vauxhall Astra, belonging to a gentleman in Pulborough, West Sussex, had suffered this damage in a supermarket car park. A main dealer's bodyshop had quoted over £400, plus the inconvenience of being without the car for several days. We were able to complete the repair the same day for a fraction of the cost!

This Honda S2000 had suffered damage to the front bumper and wing caused by a scrape against a garage wall. We were able to repair the damage and repaint blending invisibly into the bumper and wing, thus avoiding the need for a full repaint of the bumper and wing at a bodyshop.

  . The owner of this car had already agreed a trade-in deal with a dealer for this car, but unfortunately managed to scrape it against a wall in the meantime. A prompt, high quality repair was called for, no problem for Chip Magic! The repair was fully approved and accepted by the main dealer in question.

This is a dent and scratch repair we did for a lady in Worthing on her Nissan Qashqai after it was badly damaged by a supermarket trolley. Most of the scratch on the rear door was repaired without painting by our advanced finishing techniques. Most of the dents were removed by paintless dent removal techniques (PDR), leaving a small amount to be filled and painted, blending invisibly into the existing paintwork for a true SMART (Small to Medium Area Repair Techniques) Repair!

  This is a repair we did for a gentleman in Worthing, West Sussex. He only had the car for a week when he damaged the wheel arch, affecting both the door and the rear wing. The plastic wheel arch trim was also damaged, but we were able to repair it successfully making it one very relieved customer! UPDATE: This customer was so pleased with the repair that he kindly recommended Chip Magic to a friend, over a year after the original repair.
