Any diy is glorified bodging .
The whole bumper will need painting professionally to match the rest of the bodywork.

Just for these tiny missing bits? Wow....
That seems excessive but it certainly would be nice. Of course I expect that will cost a good few hundred and take a week without the car.
I'm hoping there may be some temporary fix at least until I can get the proper job done.

One option is Chipex which has a blending solution to help level the repair

Like Santer says, Chipex is good for small defects, there are also aerosols available to match your colour by supplying the paint code, here is a link to one company for you; https://www.carcolourservices.co.uk/...aint-aerosols/

Just had a look at chipex. Looks pretty credible and the reviews are good. Used with care it looks like it should give similar results to the chips away boys for a fraction of the price. I've ordered a pack for mine!

This is the system I use, https://www.drcolourchip.co.uk/ very similar to the chipex system. One thing to remember, if the chip has only taken the clearcoat off then simply fill the chip with lacquer and then rub back with 2000 grit wet and dry.![]()

I do not offer advice, I only say what I would do with the set of circumstances presented. Your choice always.
Best thing I did was get clear wrap put on the front end, you cannot see it and the car stays stone chip free. If I sell the car I can leave it on or remove it leaving a as new finish underneath. Of course not much help if the damage is already done, but touching up bits doesn't give the best results. I think I would rather prep and spray a larger area or get it done by a Pro if not confident to do it.

Thanks everyone for the great advice!
I think I'll try to use one of the solutions and see what the result is. It can't really be worse than blank spots...
One more question for the experts please!
How do I deal with the scratches on the centre console (I think it's on the plastic bit)?
Is the paint code on the inside of the passenger door?
Thanks

Was going to link to drcolourchips because it looks the simplest but the video on youtube wasn't impressive
Is the console marking on the bits above the parking brake and dsc button, if so, would guess it would need to be replaced
