    Try polish it out , cost ya nothing other than a sore arm and a bottle of polish.

    I'd be more worried about the green car she scraped it against!

    As per previous poster, polish it out. It might need some touch up paint as it looks like there is some white coming through?

    TBH it's not worth getting fixed.

    I wouldn't go near it with touch up paint. Get a cutting compound and some polish as see how it looks.

    You could get the corner painted, it wouldn't actually be all that much and they'd blend it in to match the rest of the paint. Only thing with that is it can sometimes become noticeable after a few years. To paint the whole bumper you're looking at around 300 give or take.

    That looks like a fairly new car so I'd be very careful about doing any sort of DIY touching up of paintwork on such a new car as a bad job will just devalue it's resale value. Silver is also one of those colours that is very unforgiving when it comes to poor cosmetic repair work.

    Try buffing it out with a compound/polish but if that doesn't work then get it taken care of professionally. The cost of getting it professionally fixed will smaller than the drop in resale value of a poor repair.

    From looking at the picture I'd say your best best would be to give her the road :pac:

    Seriously though I'd give it a go with polish first and see how it comes up. I had the corner of my bumper filled and sprayed before and it cost €175.

    Got a bumper sprayed last week. €140. It was off the car though.
