Default Small bumper repair

Warranty question primarily :
Wonderful. I’ve crunched my new XC40. Bumper damage and have had a £400 estimate from a reputable local body shop.
Two questions: will I invalidate my warranty by getting the bumper fixed somewhere other than Volvo or Volvo approved ? I have tried to get hold of the dealer all week but Service haven’t returned my many calls so I’d given up! They will know about this as bodyshop has had to order a new number plate 😳
How difficult is fusion red to colour match - is it a pearl colour?
Thanks in advance

I posted this on the General forum as I figured that this question would apply to all Volvos and interesting to many.

My V90 nearside rear lamp and rear bumper was damaged in a car park by 'persons unknown' last year. I was advised against a smart repair by my dealer owing to the sensitive nature of the electronics behind the bumper which can be compromised by too thickness of filler/paint.

I subsequently discovered that a new bumper came ready painted from Sweden and actually resulted in a quicker and cheaper repair when the car was sorted by my insurer. Certainly colour match wasn't an issue and no warranty concerns!

Thank you so much. Brilliant info just in time for when I see the bodyshop for a quote tomorrow. 👍
