I need help from the family. So I lent my car to a friend for the day. N00b mistake indeed... She comes back like this
The guy will pay for all repairs. I'm taking the bumper off this afternoon to inspect the frame and such. He says he got hit by a pickup but that's complete BS... Looks like a lamp post or a concrete block, especially with the yellow paint lol. What do you guys estimate the speed was for this kind of damage ? I can't believe he'd try to pull off a quick one after that. Talk about 'friends'.
Bumper already on order. Is the black plastic trim cleanable like we do for paint correction when detailing ? I have M105, M205, DA, etc. but I doubt it's the same process. If it's not correctable I'll throw new trim pieces in the order too.
Something metal, the trunk or the frame around it, is damaged because the trunk doesn't sit flush. Based on my pics, what do you guys think it is ? The lower metal piece (that has a big paint chip in it) is of course gonna be replaced, but I'm really concerned as to if the trunk might have been damaged. Also look at my left taillight, it doesn't sit flush with the rest of the car.
I'm going to the dealer get the 79.99 oil change tomorrow so I'll ask them to take a look at this also. I'll keep you guys updated.
That's what we get for wanting to share our nice things.
