easy to replace,why leave holes in the doors for the sake of a scratch on a
bumper insert.the bumpers come apart in to several pieces.
the black inserts are removable/replaceable.

How bad are the scuffs? Could you not sand them out a bit and then paint them? I've just done all of mine in satin black, looks lovely, even took got rid of a couple of ugly scratches in the bumper.
