Hi!
Today, I got some scratches on the front bumper( lower part).
Do you have any experience to fix this scratches?
Do I have to change the whole bump or Can I find any places to fix this
scraches partially?
Thank you ahead for all of your opinion.

Get the touch up paint and lacquer from your dealer and do the touch up on your own. I had bad scratches on my side skirtings which I managed to touch up nicely on my own. My car is black sapphire and after touch up, the scratch no longer visible unless one looks very closely.

don't go to your dealer, it will cost you an arm and leg.
as suggested if the scratch is small use the touch-up paint, if it's bigger there are outfits that specialise in repairing minor blemishes. In the UK "Chips-Away" come to you and sand down/smooth/spay localised areas of damage without spraying the whole panel - results really are quite good, cost c ?40 for each area repaired, compared to c ?500 for a whole new bumper.
