Fix or Live With It?

GATRD · 06-05-2017, 09:01 PM

I just bought a 2014 M6, got a great deal, car has one flaw...the previous owner ran into something and dented the lower front lip. Live with it or get it fixed? My body shop says they would need to replace the entire front bumper, $2,500! Thoughts?

Live with it at $2,500, get a ding doctor to message for $100

Maybe find a front lip you like and it will cover most if not all of your blemish?

I like how you think!

go to a different body shop... $2500 is a rip off even with a new bumper.
It should cost around half that to replace the whole bumper and paint it.
A skilled body shop can just smooth that down and make it look like new for $500.
