Default How much damage ?

I reversed into someone at a petrol station the other week.

I was my fault, but she shouldn't have been where she was.

Anyway, this is what has I did to my car.

I'm thinking new boot lid and bumper, although my car is a JDM so I may have to get a UKDM bumper.

I have been told that the dent may be able to be pulled out and the bumper touched up to look OK.

What do you guys think ???

the boot if pulled properly should attain its shape and line up well.the bumper is an easy fix.Imo no need for replacement items

Looks like the accident happened at Aremberg.

Wasn't somebody selling a UK Silverstone bumper on the forum?

Yeah, not going back to Germany this year though so I'll have to get another next year, or a cheap one off eBay.

There's a dent removal company near me that I'm going to speak to and see what they think.

ummm....the bumper seems like repairable and i dont think it will be expensive to repair...however...with regard the trunk/boot lid....you will be better off to sort a second hand one from breakers, check them out on ebay there are plenty of them

Yeah, £250 that's a bit steep IMO.

It's a track toy really so the repair doesn't have to perfect, but it's not good driving round with a big old dent there.

personally i would say it will be easier and more cost affective to replace the bootlid and get a smart repair done on the bumper, must be quite a few silver bootlids kicking around scrap yards in the uk,

spoiler looks un-touched so could fit that to the new bootlid.

That'd be my advice too.
