Thanks - i guess that means they don't actually need replaced?

I don't quite get whether I need to buy ED30 ones or paint them?

Just paint the ones on the car mate, no need to buy ED30 ones.
Make sure you take it to a good paint shop so they can make it smooth like the rest of the bumper  :happy2:

Anyone recommend a good paintshop to do this - handy if nr grantham/peterborough or Dorking way but not essential

Between the two - stop at panelcare in rochdale. they'll order the parts in then you can just turn up and fit em
