Bumper edge scratched
Hello,
I got the car 3 months ago and been enjoying it really well. But today while backing out the car from driveway, I accidently hit the bumper on sidewalk (elevated corner) . Even though the damage is really small, it is really noticeable on Sakhir Orange. I would like to know if I should have the body shop repair it or try DIY kits. Any suggestions with possible cost estimate range? Thanks, SD |

Easy repair, those wheels look way outside the fender, what offset are they?.

it sits a low non eye level area- a body shop can do a good job with R and R and spot spray that easily.

Its body shop lingo, Remove and Replace, but in this case I would substitute Replace with Repair.

It depends... does your dealership have a certified body shop on site or is it outsourced? I dont have any experience with larger chain body shops like Maaco. I normally would dig around in your area and check by word of mouth. Im sure your local dealer has a preferred vendor. Its a minor repair job like I had mentioned before and it wont require a full respray (this is where your shop is really important).
