just to get a new bumper and have the bodyshop paint it and install it could cost up to 7-8 hundred dollar, not to mention that the damage there might be inside the bumper.

i'm sorry for what happened to you...but hey...**** happens be careful next time.

This is from my repair estimate:

front bumper cover pn 203 885 14 25 $442
r frt upr cover mldg pn 203 885 22 21 $96
l frt bumper cover mldg pn 203 885 21 21 $71

And then add a few hundred for remove & replace labor & paint/materials.

Not too cheap..........

If you are leasing your car, why are you considering getting kits on it.. i thought you had to return the car in the pretty much the same state you go it....

i am leasing my car and i am also going to get a body kit, pully, maybe chip and intercooler. plus the stuff i have now. but i am going to have to take it all out and put it all back to stock about a month before the lease is up. it will be a big expense to take everything off though. but i will be selling everything i have incase anyone wants to reserve it now for less than 3 years from now..... lol

kekeke thx for yallz support but hey i was stupid and jus lucky i didnt rear end a nice car or my 30 percent discount on my insurance would of blown away....
hmmm sounds like i might as well get a kit for that price..
i know im leaseing it and at least i feel like im not the only one souping up the car but i plan on buying out the car later might as well cause i know im going to be proboly end up putting 12G canadian in that car eventually within a year or so...
as for a back up plan my dad owns a body shop so he says he can do some clay stuff and sand it down all i would need too buy is the chromy thingy that goes in the middle he says it should look brand new..what u guys think of that? is that possible? or should i just go with buying a brand new stock front end if i do give it backin three years...?

Hey man, no offense, but did the accident mess up your language and spelling skills, too? Looks like english isn't your first language, as demonstrated here and in this post : Say What? .

So what? Does that make him a worse person? English is not my first language either, but I post here anyway. I post here simply because I think this is the best resource for MB related info I've found sofar. If people having trouble understanding me, well, then they are free to ask me to clarify what I'm trying to say. But I don't think my lousy english is reasson enough to bash me (or anyone else). I thought this was a MB forum, and not a english grammar/spelling forum.

Hey, I wasn't directly attacking him about english not being his first language. I used the wrong words, sorry. But I see this kind of stuff everywhere. People think just because they're posting on some board somewhere, that they can get lazy and not spell correctly, not use punctuation, not make complete sentences, etc. Come on, are you trying to tell me you LIKE reading a post that says "hay, kan any 1 hep me? mah kar got a buzump blah blah blah"? Hey, I come here to learn and contribute, too. But I don't want to work at decoding some cryptic post. Personally, if you're asking for help, and I saw your post was all encrypted with 'Net shorthand, I wouldn't want to help you. Take the time to post something that looks and reads halfway intelligent. I personally think it's a reflection on the poster if their message is written at a second grade level. Hell, even a second grader could spell better. Just one of my pet peeves. Sorry if I offended anyone who does not have english as a first language. That was not my intention, and was a poor choice of words for me to use.
