i was thinking of maybe some 1k filler primer then a bit of touch up paint but would this be a bad idea as a body shop has already been arranged....
Ok so as some of you know i got some repair work that needs doing, i have the car booked in on the 11th for the whole front bumper to be repainted due to the pearl

If the bumper is being completely resprayed any repair you do will have to be properly sanded back and redone anyway so you have nothing to lose.

As others have said, barely noticeable so I'd just leave it. If it really bothers you, just do what sprinter said and go over it in yellow just to cover it up a bit, don't think it's necessary to fill it.
