Grrr... Car scraped in car park as if by magic...
Not a happy bunny...
It appears that on Friday somebody scraped the O/S front bumper of my car, probably as they swung out of the opposite. CCTV couldn't see the space and it wasn't hard enough to trigger the dash cam.
Any ideas how much it will cost to repair? It's not cracked it, but raised the surface somewhat and it's lost a bit of paint. I'm hoping a smart repair will do, but not looking forward to the bill

Could be £50 or the car could be a write off.

It sounds like a minor scrape, I'm sure one of our number can sort it, may I suggest some metal polish and a gentle rub down?
If you ever think I'm off my rocker.. Just put me back in it and walk away... It's the kindest thing
My wife says I never listen - or something like that.
gone but not forgotton -Mean Steve - made a sound like a bear with his nuts in a trap.

You might be a “Repairer” Ed, “SMART” well that’s up for debate

I am in Grantham Lincs. I do travel around a bit, including Heathrow, Birmingham and Daventry.

Finally got to have a look at the damage in daylight. It's basically a couple of scrapes that have burred up and the top of the bumper below the headlight has a crease in it. Not too bad, but I will need to get it done.
Any idea what this might cost to put right? I would also like to get a couple of stone chips and parking dings sorted at the same time, as hopefully this would be the most economic approach.

Sod all, get some metal polish and polish it out

It's going to need a proper rub down and some paint, it's not just surface scratching. It's also deformed the bumper slightly as well
