Ouch! That's so frustrating. Sorry to see it happen. Wouldn't you love to catch the people in the act?

It happened to me in my other car 4 times in 5 months. The insurance company must have thought I had some scam going, which I definitely didn't!

Once you have it fixed, you'll never know the difference (best if you delete the pictures too).

Bad news. Don't assume it was an SUV. I park my work pig (Ford Explorer) on the street. My neighbor rear-ended it in her Lexus ... drove home without checking in with me. I discovered she and her husband looking at my car later ... they confessed to the mess. A couple of weeks later, someone backed into the pig again, front end this time, and drove off. Isn't this a great honest world we live in?

Good luck on the repairs.

Oh man! That sucks!! I feel your pain. Klein's Sterling did work on my car to remove some keying I got while parked at UT-Austin, then later to replace my bumper when I was smacked by one of those Austin drivers as described above. The repair was indistinguishable and immaculate. Ronnie is in Dripping Springs. PM me if you'd like more details or his contact info. He's a great guy, highly recommended.

Man, that totally sucks!!

I had a Dodge Ram a few years ago and backed into a guys Integra parallel parking and wiped out his front bumper cover with my tow hitch. It didn't make me or him happy, but I left a note and took care of it. Ironiocally, someone backed out of a spot parked next toi mine and turned there wheel putting their bumper into and down the length of my door. No note, NOTHING!

I feel your pain.

That is suck.

That's happened to me couple of time. Once on my Miata (no note) and recently on my Disco (no note). Yes, I'm also in the land of Suburbans and F150s.

I apologize for the flippant remark regarding the SUV part, although based on the location the car was parked and the height of the impact (tailight and above) I don't believe I am jumping to conclusion, that said my wife drives one and so do 90% of her friends who have kids. Needless to say that based what I have seen just in the school parking lot we volunteer for the field trips! (Austin Drivers Also, an SUV was responsible so doing a similar number to my XJR, and my TR6 suffered a somewhat similar fate with a Pick up... call me biased, but a low car is hard to see and can be crunched will out even noticing ...and Pick up and SUV are pretty much the majority around here. BTW, for those in the Austin area, are you guys familiar with Berly's in Pfugerville - I understand they work only on highend cars and have a good reputation

Huh???
Seriously. Very sorry to hear and worst yet, to see what happened to your baby.



Best part about the bumper: You don't have to explain the mod to your wife.

Any chance a security camera caught the dirty deed on tape??
Good luck.

Unfortunately no - I had camera installed in the parking lot 5 years ago as a deterant but was too cheap to have the VRC added... What most frustating is that I have a enclosed garage with a gate behind the building where I keep the car 99.9% of the time - couldn't get the gate to open (battery on the remote is gone) so I park outside... and Bingo I score, teach me for being lazy. BTW, where can I source the Euro bumpers?

rcwelch

Jagbuff...Try Gert at Carnewal.com...good prices and great service. I got my Euro front bumper from him and he included the freight. Good luck!
