Gack, someone dinged me :(

Anyone know how I might fix this? Looks like someone gave me a whack. I'm pretty good at fixing scratches, but not sure what to use to fill and cover this up.

Almost makes me want to put on a rubber bumper guard like I did with one of my previous cars.

Is that a depression in the plastic or is that paint that is chipped off? To fix it yourself is tricky. If the depression isn't sharp, you can remove the bumper and heat the spot up and push it out. It won't be perfect though. Or you can sand the spot down to get all the spider cracking out and then fill it with body filler. Sand it and then send it out to get painted.

It's a depression, unfortunately. I was hoping not to have to take it off, but will see if I can rent a heat gun and push it out.

Its a impression and looks like some plastic was carved out as well. Theres no reallyl way to easily touck it up unless you
1-sand it down
2- fill it
3- Paint it
4- Sand it
5- Polish it

Dang... ah well, another item for the spring to do list.

Whatever you do , before doing a definitive repair, heat it and pop whatever you can pop out or make a small hole and pull it out if you are going to use filler. I've seen bumpers partially pop out on their own just from the sun's heat.

Can you post a pic from another angle?

[ProfessorX5]

Will do.

I may go that route.... I need a new neighborhood. I could almost swear people here do it on purpose. :P
