Unhappy Front Bumper

Hello guys,

I have a 2008 TL-S, and unfortunately on Sat. some lady hit my front bumper with her X5, and now I have a few scratches and few places the paint is chipped. I live in Toronto and I was wondering if anyone knows how much it costs me change it?

Thanks.

why didn't you get her insurance info so she can pay for it? or was it your fault that she hit you? If you go to the dealer it's gonna be ALOT

By the way you described the pumper has few scharches, no need to change the whole new pumper just find a good body shop to repaint it for you its may cost around $300, i imagine the new pumper would cost lots of $$$.

I got her insurance and everything, and I went to the collision center too, because no cop came they can't say who's at fault.

I just went to the dealer they said if i want to change it it costs $850, and if i want to repair it costs $1350. hahaha.

Does anyone know any place good in GTA to either get a new bumper or repair it?

Get a quote from a body shop to repair and repaint your existing bumper. Then take it to the lady who hit you and make her pay it, or tell her you're putting it through insurance and her rates can go up. Simple.

Good suggestion, but I'd go get the $1350 quote in writing and take that to the lady and make her pay. Then go to hybridTL's buddy and get it done for $550 - you pocket the change!
