Default Oops!

I've just been informed that I've scraped our financial directors Merc E350 whilst reversing out of a car parking space yesterday. I didn't even realise.
The sickener is that he just has a red paint mark that'll buff out and it's a company car anyway so he doesn't pay for it.
I, however, have a square centimetre of paint missing from my bumper that now really needs sorting.

Dammit!!

If it makes you feel any better, my mate wrote of his companies Noble (they let him take it out for a spin). Had it on two wheels spinning off a corner then put it into a wall. The poor thing was trashed.

I'm really not sure how I didn't notice. I denied it at first thinking it must have been someone else that did it but the NFR mark was far too much of a giveaway!
Shame.

I thought that myself but it's my passenger side front bumper and his driver side rear. Hard to describe without pics but, suffice to say, it must have been me.
Just noticed the touch up paint thread now, be checking that out now...

He's a pretty emotionless guy so I couldn't really tell if he was bothered or not. Pic added:

D'you think I could touch that up myself or should I get professional to do it? Been quoted
