Title is pretty self explanatory
 : I would have posted this in the Bseries forum but its more of a general inquiry thats not really about the type of car and i welcome any 'you idiot, why didn't you look where you were going' comments as i deserve them  Paint missing in a few places but the only thing i am worried about it the chip missing from the edge. The third photo looks pretty bad because its really really close but from a distance its not as noticeable. I'm happy to get the quarter panel (or whatever the panel in front of the bumper is called ) touched up as the damage to it is only small and its not in a easy spot to see normally. I'm going to be out of town for a few days so i'll probably get a quote when i get back, thought i'd put it on here and try to get some opinions. Any idea if it could be fixed or how much another bumper will cost? its a silhouette BA XT.    |

Just looks like paint damage. Is there any splits or cracks in the actual bumper? If not you might get away with just a paint touch up.

$400 is what you were quoted?
If so sounds too cheap to me. Might be worth investing in reverse sensors if your gunna have to have the bumper resprayed anyway.

The teapot guy?
$400 sounds very reasonable, almost too reasonable.

Actually i've used these guys before and thought they were on the expensive side?
I was really happy with the result so i didn't worry about it too much though. Regardless i'm going to get another quote or two too be sure, when i'm back in town. Thanks for your replies, i appreciate it

Good idea. I bought one at Super Cheap for $40 and it works like a charm. |

No offense to anyone but i don't really like how they look. I guess they look better than the bumper does at the moment :gren:
