Ok so last week I was driving my TL long story short the people driving next to me started telling me that it was on fire, I parked in Mcdonalds where they helped me put down the fire. There was some kind of a short circuit. Now my question is buying a new bumper is expensive, any ideas ?

Band aid?.

I would just get a new bumper.

That'll buff right out.

Get some duct tape, the silver color will match pretty close.

All kidding aside, buy a new bumper. This one's almost literally toast.

At least it was caught before it did anymore damage.
hope is wasnt a led in the license plate light that caused the short circuit

but yeeeaaa like you so totally need a new bumper!

Check out the local salvage yard, or on ebay.

If you buy an aftermarket replacement bumper, make sure it is CARPA certified. Only well-made aftermarket body parts get this certification. Basically it is like a guarantee that it will fit just like an OE part but for a much lower price. They're made exactly like the original with all mounting holes and cutouts lined up correctly. Don't buy the cheap non-certified shit. It's either CARPA or OE, nothing else is worth the trouble and money.

x2, but definitely buy a replacement bumper.
