Hey guys
I was reverse parking last night and drove my rear bumper into a low setting concrete structure. If this part of the bumper (see photo, sorry I borrowed another members photo for illustration purposes) is dented/dimpled, is it repairable or does the whole bumper got to be replaced?
Million thx

In general it can be repaired and repainted unless it is extremely severe. This has been my experience. With a quality body shop you will never see it. In suburban Chicago at a quality body shop the price would be $300 approximately. Good luck.

Thx pharding
I'll post an actual photo of the damage, it's comforting to know I dont hv to shell out for the entire bumper. However, if that turns out to be the case, Im pondering if I should just replace it with an ACS aero.

Yeah, I was backing up very slowly cuz it was a temp assigned space (very tight and dark......hmm sounds like something else doesn't it...)due to underground piping work at my usual space.....*sigh*

Sorry to hear about your damage. Looks to be repairable.
