    what should I do!

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So going to work this afternoon the parking lot was filled so I had to park on the street. A few hours later I go to my car for a break to get something out of my trunk and on my back bumper has4screw marks from a license plate of the car behind me. The screw marks are pretty deep and engraved in the paint. What should I do now the marks are killin me, I have all original paint on my car. Even though the screw marks are small they stand out alot. Is there anything I can do maybe to cover it up alittle or should I just paint it

    Re: what should I do!

    I feel your pain..I got a nailed by a lady backing out of a spot at my work. A few months later, come out to a nice scuff on my bumper that I have know idea how it happened. Then, a couple of weeks ago, I got a nice scratch on my passenger door which is very obviously from someone opening their door into mine..People are just inconsiderate parkers. I try to park as far away from other cars as I can and I get pissed to come out to a virtually empty lot and someone parked right befreakin side me...

    Anywho...any pictures of the damage?

    file insurance,hit and run man. theyll take a deductible but whatever,better than paying for a full paint job outta pocket.

    Any decent body shop should be able to repair it.

    Try hitting it with some swirl remover, you'd be amazed how much it can do to minimize or even hide the damage.

    you can screw your back license plate on your back bumper to cover the screw marks or they got those mini sharpie markers. Nah just playing just take it shop and get fresh paint on the whole car.

Also im thinking of painting my bumper but I have all original paint, and does anyone know a good body shop in nyc? my old gti I needed to get a fender painted and it came out like SHIT.
