New rear bumper or re-spray?

I have a bump on my rear bumper that my ocd cant handle. I have been quoted £170 for a dent removal and spray.
However I have found a bumper on eBay for £220 which includes a spray to my colour, the only catch is that I would have to drill the parking sensors. Is this an easy job?
Should I go for a new bumper or just have it sprayed?
Thanks
 
Are your parking sensors flush/slightly recessed? If they are then i think you'll need the correct bumper. If you have retro fitted then you should be ok to drill and fit etc

Not 100% sure here, just made the assumption looking at other members cars on meets. Can anyone confirm?
 
They look factory fitted and look as though they would have a recessed hole with the sensor removed. Not something you could achieve by drilling. I wouldn't bet my Zed on it but i'm quite sure.
 
The sensors sit in slots if they are OEM and this could not be achieved by drilling alone.

I accidentally pushed one during cleaning and had to reach up behind the bumper to push it back out :)
