C350
Hit a tire/rim with my new C350's back bumper?
Hi. I'm new to this forum and have a question. I have a 2012 C350 with Obsidian black metallic paint. The other day I acidentally backed into (I have no idea how) a lifted truck's rim/tire. There are two noticeable scrapes on my back bumper and the paint is definitely screwed. I know that I'm going to have to get my bumper replaced, and I was wondering if anyone may have an estimate of how much something like this costs? Or how much it should cost?

Thanks in advance.

Depends where you are from but shouldn't be more then 400 dollars i believe the paint will cost more rather then regular c040 black paint. I would wait for someone to rear end me to put the blaim on them lol

You are looking at about 2K. The covers are not cheap and the labor and paint will run you over $ 400.00 alone.
Sorry for the bad news.

Yup White C Class is about right... I've done the same thing too except hit my mom's car. They had to remove the bumper from the car, heat up the sections that had scrapes and to mend them back into shape. Then finally repaint. I feel for you man!

If your near NJ this should be around than 500-750. If its just a couple scrapes or gouges, u can repair the bumper easily and paint it. THe cover itself is like 500 new OEM. it would be around another 500 to paint and install it. Easier to repair the one on the car than to replace unless it really F'd up. post a pic of the damage. And obsidian paint isnt that hard to match, Its just 3 stage instead of 2 stage paint. Same base color as 040 black
