scratched rear bumper

boomboomroom · 04-26-2009, 03:50 AM

somebody back into my bumper tonight
look like nothing major, just some scratched paint (i can't see it well since it was dark)

any body can recommend a good body shop around OC area?

Is it something that touch up work won't conceal?

damn, the same thing happened to me last night! its sucks ass

i am not entirely positive if i did that while pulling out, or the car behind me did that while parking. i parked in a pretty tight spot in downtown and made sure that there is enough space for the car behind me to get out. when i came back, there was another car parked there, but i did not check my bumper. This morning went to the store, and noticed that my bumper is messed up.

Something like this will be around $800 to fix, unless you are willing to take the bumper off and put it back on yourself. In that case you could probably get away with $300 - $400. REALLY bad timing for something like this... especially before the bimmerfest

Yup was quoted 700 at one shop and 560 at another. Have to repaint the bumper, might just deal with it, could easily happen again.

It happened to me, I don't know when it happened too. I was quoted 200 since I know the owner.
