I got in an accident. Best way to fix minor damage?

Some idiot just rear ended me. I let him go because damage was pretty minor and I was not going to let my car get an accident in its history. I don't have time for arguing with insurance adjuster plus insurance company is never going to pay me a couple of thousand of diminished value for this so I am just sucking this up.



What is the best to fix this? I appreciate all suggestions.

It is hard to tell if the plastic is dented or warped. That said, some buffing compound wax may get out the scratches and touch up paint may adequately cover the parts where paint was removed.

You shouldn't have let him go. At least get some money from him if you didn't want to go through insurance. Thats going to run you 1500-2000. Replacing the trim and repaint rear bumper.

This is infuriating. WTH are you thinking letting this go when you have dash cam footage? Dumbest thread I’ve seen in a while… Do not pass go, do not collect $200. In the event you exchanged information, I would call this person back and tell them you changed your mind.

Just be very careful that you can document what actually happened. We can tell you about a case where the person who hit us claimed later that we backed into therm in the middle of the street. And in another case, the first time we knew about anything in terms of damage was when we got a letter from the other party. Awfully easy to sue if the lawyer will take the case on a contingency basis.

If I was you I’d drive down, chase dude, drag him out his car and beat the absolute **** out of him, and then use logic after, the 43 is my baby if anyone ever did that they have another thing coming to them they gotta worry about, go to a good repair shop and they should have it looking as good as new, as for the guy that hit you make him pay for it.

@hyperion667 im a grown *** man bud if I spent my blood sweat and tears into a car, I’d feel very strongly about it especially when you are driving correct and the other person isn’t, that doesn’t make you a teenager grow up, this car ain’t cheap man plus the depriciation on top of the hit is what would **** me the **** off. Not everyone’s rich like you “mr I owned a million benzs” There’s no excuse for ****ty drivers PERIOD you chose to drove that way yuhheard miskeene waste yout.

Reading some of these comments I wish I could delete this thread; some people calling me idiot (fair enough, it is your opinion but seems like you did not read my original post) and some suggest assaulting the other driver ... LMAO

Damage is pretty minor. Trim is not warped; it is just dented the dent is pushed into the bumper. Bumper paints also seems OK and the black scratch seems to be the paint of the other car. I'll figure something out but looking at it you would not notice any damage if you did not know where to look.

@AMGiggity lmfaoo your hilarious but fr tho bro like these guys (the other drivers) see a amg and start rushing from the back to keep up or stay close and what they don’t realize is that what if the amg slams its strong brake’s, the other car don’t got no Brembos obviously and this is what happens that’s why I don’t even gun it on normal roads, too many idiots on road but regardless just get it fixed it’s not major plus it will look brand new if you have a good person that knows auto body parts repair and buffing and etc

I would not do this. An accident is an accident. If someone purposely ran into your car then of course thats assault. In the end its a material object. I agree a lot of people saved up and worked hard to own such a car, I would not let the other person off the hook financially (unless you are a millionaire in which case why are you driving a c43 lol?).

Worry not, the good Lord is on his side After he assaults someone for hitting his fake AMG(FMG) the good Lord will swiftly absolve him of all wrong doing.
