Rant about bumper damage - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hi everyone, I just want to rant about the fact that someone hit my front bumper yesterday in a parking lot and I'm so pissed that I have no way of finding out who did it. No witnesses (yet) or cameras. My car is only two weeks old

It's nothing major, I can buff out most of it but there's still a few deep grooves that can't be buffed out. I'll post pics soon.

These cars can be kept perfectly safe with just one simple precaution!

Makes it sort of a waste to have the car though.
Ya it sucks but shit happens. It is just a car.

front bumper is plastic, expendable. It is bound to have scrapes all over the underside anyways.

Well, itsAlex .......that's a shame.......

The first ding is always the most painful ......

If the paint is not chipped, sometimes a good PDR person can coax it back into shape.........

I had a friend a few years ago, who bought a new Mercedes. Took it home, went into the garage and came back with a ball peen hammer. Bang! on the rear panel - said "There. First one's out of the way." Problem solved.

Yea I agree, honestly it could have been worse but it's the first scratch on the car and it stands out :/ I guess eventually I won't care as much.

You got that right, the first one is always the worst :/ it still upsets me when I think about it!

Whoa... I get why he did that but I still think that's crazy, I'd rather the first scratch on my car to be done by someone else than myself lol

Pics were taken with my phone, don't mind the quality:

Like I said, nothing major but it still bothers me

Tcoat · 03-22-2016, 03:00 PM

What the hell? They run a tire across it?

Oh I see its black. No one actually hit it. Someone just looked at it. Better get use to it.
