Front bumper scrape... need advice

1er120i · 09-12-2006, 11:58 PM

Because of my stupidity, this is what happened while i was going out from my parking stall:

Is there anyway way I can fix this with some rubbing compound and touch up paint by any chance? Or should I just go to my dealer? The good news is there's no dent, considering it was head on against a wall (don't ask me why I know im stupid you can throw apples at me now)... sigh what a bad day

Any advice (or mockery) would be nice thanks.

Your dealer will probably want to repaint the bumper and charge you $$$. I had a similar minor scrape and went to my paintless dent repair guy who also repaints bumpers. Has a computer to match any make and model's color code. In under an hour he fixed mine and it is 100% undetectable. Oh, and he charged me $100. A bargain.

unless you change your driving habits I wouldn't bother fixing it as it'll just happen again in 2 weeks
