Biggest problem on mine is scratches in the centre of the bumper from parking too close to the wall!!!
In my paranoia to get it as far away from the divs as possible.. I'm the guilty party!! Doh!! :'(

only rubbing i had with mine is when i reversed it in to a post :-[
needed new bumper new rear light not to mention a spray job

now i am fully comp and got reversing sensors hehe

all because the council in thier wisdom decided to put post in the middle of the road just over a foot high and when u are reversing up hill out of a drive way you got no chance :( *$%*%"*%"**&%^ council

hehe

besides that what bumpers are for in it hehe
bring back the good ole metal ones that what i say
prang them and you just gotta whack them back into shape hehe

but might not look too good on a scorpio i guess ???

I'm suffering too on both bumpers. They were like that when I bought the car, grazed on the rear and well a mess on the front, in addition to the lunar surface on the bonnet. >:( - Remedy new front bumper and a paint job. Still only part way there though and no dosh :- :'( :'(
