Seems the previous owner carelessly bumped his trailer onto the bumper and left annoying dents cheap fix a Quattro sticker,also on the chrome strip,another cheap fix 3M carbon wrap,I've not used this before,but it's easy.Kinda like the idea of debadging

The allroad flare/bumper paint is code LV7W....here in the states we can get a spray can made up of it, a single stage paint that lays on like OE. 'Tower paint' also mixes and sells the paint on-line, many other places too I'm sure.

Also, a pre-made/mixed spray can of the same color by SEM #39193 is an excellent match as well.

Did you fill in the little dents in the bumper will body filler ? That decal seems to do a good job of hiding them in the picture.

I filled with clear silicone,luckily the dents were under the black lettering,still the sticker is a stop gap measure,I think the back looks busy enough with the 4 rings the allroad the 2.5 tdi and the Quattro stick on things,the scratches on the chrome were really obvious and annoying at least with the carbon wrap you can use a prep solution and edge sealer,not so with the Quattro sticker,I guess a lot of people back up to trailers and wait for the thump,yep I've arrived.....cheers for the info

EMO/LM likes Imron 6543UM, and this actually crosses to three different PPG codes, 71977, 71650, and 74359. The shop only had the chip for PPG 71650, and I compared it out in sunlight to the original part from my bike and it was a match, by all eyes in the area that saw it, including mine.
