Glad to hear you are ok. I too had some weird dents appear on the sides of the bumper on the exact same places on both sides. It was strange and so I thought I'd have MB look at it. I went to two different places and they told me that there was no way to fix those dings since the bumper is made of plastic.

Let's do a group buy on a 2012 bumper Ice. lol

I got a dent too on the driver side rear bumper and mercedes quoted me 600 bucks to fix it. Since it's not metal they can't just pop out the dent. It would have to be heated and smoothed out. I went to three different places and they said the same thing. I'm going to a dent place to fix it on Saturday for 100 bucks.

It's always the hidden damage that you can't, that ends up costing you $$$

It's very strange in my case. It's two dings on each side towards the line between the body of the car and where the bumper starts. At first I thought, oh well it's a small ding but then I saw it on the other side and on the front bumper of the same exact size. That's when asked MB dealers and a repair shop, they didn't even quote me a price to fix, they said it can't be fixed.

What kind of work is your car going to get because I'd like to get those annoying dings out on mine too but don't know where to take it or who can fix it?

Are you talking about those apple dents or deflections. Kind of like someone leaned up against it to create a soft spot. I got those two but never had it fixed

I would say "Hope you're ok, man." But since it was just a "bump", I'll say, "Hope your car is ok, man."

Not sure what an apple dent is lol but they are like dime sized dings on exact spots. I had one appear on the front hood and my dealer was nice enough to take care of that for me at no cost but these that appeared later on or so I think can't be fixed. It's not noticeable unless you look at them from an angle or in light.

$50, you should ask if you can "rear-end" her for $50, too!

Mines is like a soft spot, it's barely noticeable if you're not looking for it. But I know it is there and it bothers me. I will try to take a picture of it and hopefully I can get it fix tomorrow.

Merc, sounds like your dings are different from mines. Let's see how good they can work out this dent.

The 3 different places I went to said the same thing, they can only get it to 80 or 90% it won't be 100% fixed. I can live with that.

Ok, after seeing that pic. Mine are also soft spots I guess. It's in the exact same spot on both sides of my bumper. Isn't a bit strange that more than one person has the same issue

I had my bumper fixed and repainted last year, dunno if it was from that and i never noticed it. I'm usually keen on this kind of stuff though, so I'm not sure where it came from. Maybe it's a defect of some sort where that area sorts to indent.

but wait..actually its kinda hard hit (coz maybe of the weight of the van) and I was surprised that the damaged was minimal.

This is the same kind of van that hit me!

Since it's her fault just have the whole bumper cover replaced. I had some soccer mom tag my rear bumper (while she was texting) on my C55. Bumper medic prolly could have fixed it, but since she was not paying attention and in such a hurry (kiddies late for school), I had the dealer replace the bumper and hit up her insurance for a $1k.

$50 for the damages?

You: "Would you sleep with me instead?"
Her: "Are you crazy?"
You: "Well I was trying to get a $50 bump too!"
