Dents between Grills
Hi I just got in the last day or so two small horizontal lines between the kidney grills. Someone must have backed into me somewhere, they are not very noticeable but I notice them and it is driving me nuts. As they are part of the bumper assembly do I have to take of the bumper, repair and then paint? I took it to a dent only type place and that's what he suggested. Cost about $300.
I there any other ideas? |

That's the bumper assembly. It's plastic underneath the paint.

IMHO, wait 2 or 3 weeks before making a decision. See if it's still driving you nuts.
Front bumper looks incredibly clean, low mileage, clear protection film, or no winter driving? |

I just got it about two weeks ago, it only had 18,000 miles on it and not a mark on it. I love this car and being a bit ocd I just can't bear this on it but I will take your suggestion and wait a few weeks.
I just changed out from the RF's the other day and boy does that make a difference. |
