Doing up Car before selling?

As per my previous post, I'm thinking about selling/part exing my car. I obviously want to get the most money possible for my car but there are a couple of bits of cosmetic damage to it. The front grill has a bit broken off (the bit that sits around the VW badge). It's not overly obvious but you'd see if it you looked. There are also some dents which all happen to be on the right wing. Is it worth trying to replace these parts from a brakers yard before I sell/part ex or would it be more cost effective to just sell it as it is?

Also, I've had new brakes and a new cambelt (plus smaller bits) fitted in the past year but both were done by a friend who works for VW at my house so I don't have receipts to prove the work was done. If someone in the know was to take a look would they be able to see that I'm being honest about the new parts?

A person with a keen eye will tell if the belt's been changed Evian, regards the grill, try 247 car spares + a few others on the WEB, give them the paint code if the grill is painted, the dents depending how severe they are may PULL out with a dent puller or pressed out by removing the splash Guard. I would sell the car Private for a better price, clean & valet the car to a good standard & List everything that has been done since you've had it.
