Parking accident.

[nianeux]

I feel so stupid!!!!! This is gonna be my second post in only 1 week. I just replaced the battery yesterday, was so happy to drive my car again. I was parking my car when I hit the wall. What was I thinking...I just don't know. I feel so bad right now. So the rear bumper and the right tail light were hit. I don't know if they can fix the rear bumper or if they will have to replace it. Has anyone replaced his rear bumper? How much should it cost? I don't think i can buy an old one as i live in France where it's very difficult to find used parts. I need to know how much this is gonna cost, I'll get to the garage on Monday... the week-end is gonna be long.

A rear bumper cover runs about US$800-$1000 to replace and paint.

Depending on the degree of damage, you might be able to get the bumper repaired by one of the specialists that actually do it on site. I've used them for a fairly large scrape on the back and the results were outstanding. Perfect match in paint, perfect fix...$200 Cdn. Search for one of these professionals, as they often do work for the top dealers such as Mercedes, BMW etc. At least they'll be able to tell you what they can do. They do it in a day...its amazing.

Given your tail light was out too, I'd guess your bumper is toasted beyond a scrape or two. Your probly looking at $2000 at least in repair including a new tail light and bumper. Hope your heat shields and other bumper pieces aren't busted.

Hit a wall.... Hmmm
