Default Sigh...6000 miles...first damage.

Walked up to my car the other day and something didn't look right. I don't even know how I did this but I suspect I came down too hard off a speed bump. It's not a huge deal but the car is now not perfect (I know...boohoo,right) Any suggestions on how this could easily be fixed?

what, where? I don't see anything, what damage?

If I listed all of my car's imperfections, the list would be a full page long....

Ditto. Seems like there's a new scratch on it everytime I look at it. Might just be my paranoia though.

Did you run over a rock or something?

Battle scars my friend.
That's the cost of actually driving your car instead of just admiring it.
Better get used to them.
Move on. Don't look at the one blemish it has, look at how perfect the rest of the car is! (It could be a lot worse).
The glass is almost full, don't sweat such a minor detail, don't let it ruin your day.
Give it a few days and you'll feel all better again.
Cheers,

Ah, I see your problem. Someone stuck a green toothpick in the end of your fenderwell.

...sorry, I'm no help. I found 2 more tiny little dents in my car this week....

The fender is removeable. So it wouldnt be that bad to pull it off and bent that part back into place. If your local i could probably do it for you much cheaper than a body shop would charge.

OMG!!! You should call you're insurance company and have them fix it. Hopefully it won't be considered totaled

Just kidding. I think it's one of those thing that only you will notice because it's your car. No one else will see it unless they're looking for it or washing your car.

If you plan to drive the S daily then get used to it. If it were your weekend machine then be more careful, I boils down to a road car/driver will never be immaculate if you don't think about the belmishes and imperfections than they wont bother you all that much. Over time you'll forget if your like me hahah
