AHH! What has two wheels and sharp pedals?!

When i was pulling out into oncoming traffic some crackhead on a bike decides that he wants to go thru the intersection and he jetted into the street right in front of my car. After I nearly knocked him off his bike, (still going slow) he kept pedaling like nothing happened... He was going the opposite direction so i couldnt really do anything.

Advice? Take it to a shop? Order a new bumper? I have some under bumper scrapes as well that should really be replaced if I get this done.

Thanks guys.. Im a little devastated.

Sorry to see what happened

You could have it fixed at a shop without having to remove the bumper.

Sorry to see that :/ the front of yours looks exactly like mine and it makes me think about that being my car

best of luck!

Get a touch up paint, a little bit of wet sanding, polish it with a porter cable...
It will not be as perfect as it was before... but it helps... good luck!

Here is what I found under Detail Section (Sticky)
Q: What if I have scratches that I can feel with my fingernail. How do I go about removing them?
A: You’ll need to fill the scratch in with touch up paint and wet sand the blob down using a particular grit of automotive sand paper. Once that is complete you’ll need to polish out the sanding marks with a finer polish.

Take it to your favorite body shop. I scraped the bottom part of the nose on a parking lot stop (newbie mistake) and it only cost me $50 to get it fixed and repainted. Yours looks slightly deeper than mine was, but may still be a cheap repair.

Thats reassuring. Thank you!

I don't know any body shops out here in scottsdale, as i've never needed one and just moved.

But i will look on google for some reviews i suppose

I know! I love your car! I creeped on it a few months ago checking out pictures. I could've sworn I saw that you did something else on another thread. New Spoiler or something?

Maybe not, oh well. Black out your handles... Did I say that out loud?...do it.
