    Hey there,

    I was parallel parking today on a narrow driveway today with a painted railing on my right side and a concrete wall on my left side (the side I was parking into). I was reversing to the left and looking over my left shoulder, when I heard a scrape...the front right corner of my bumper and the small panel closest to the wheel well had been scraped.

    The bumper is the worst...it actually has a hole in through it from the scrape. The other panel isn't too bad...there is one small place where the paint got rubbed off, and a few thin scratches, as well as some paint left. See the attached picture.

    What do you think the best solution to this is? What kind of price should I expect to pay to have it fixed? Will the bumper need to be replaced or can it be patched somehow by a body shop?

    Thank you very much for your help.
