At this point. I think you will be better off repairing rather than replacing the bumper. Parts for these cars are still very scarce and take a while to arrive.
Keep us posted.

Some good news on this Good Friday; got the car back, several days early. They did a superb job, can't tell it was ever hit.

And now the bad news; soon as I got home, I scraped it pulling into the garage. [rant]

I see now more than ever why people wanted the surround view camera....

Sorry about the bad news. I have a convex mirror in my garage and it's made pulling in so much easier. You can pick them up on amazon for less than $30.

That's a good idea. Also, I should probably start listening to the parking sensor, especially when it let's out a steady beep...lol. But a mirror is probably a safer bet.

It's pretty deep, I think probably down to the layer underneath. I'm going to contact the shop that fixed it and see if they had any paint left over, IF it can't be buffed.

It's pretty deep so I doubt it. I'm going to check with some detailers Monday though.
