I was checking out my new Z this afternoon to take some nice photos of the car, and instead I found out that some a**hole hit me in my rear bumper while trying to park behind me
The damage is very minor, but I can still see the two screw marks on my bumper that I received from the car that hit my Z.
My Z is 6 days old, and it already has a ding that wasn't caused by me..
This has been bothering me the whole day and I NEED TO GET IT FIXED!
What would be the best and cheapest way to get rid of these dings W/O
painting the whole bumper???
Here's the pic btw, the dings are highlighted with the red circles.

Sorry to hear about that. That happened on my previous Z too. Body shop said might as well replace the bumper. Repairs costs about $500 for repair or ne bumper with labor and everythign $830. I went with the new bumper on my previous one.
2 Options.
A) Buy touch up paint from somewhere like CourtestParts.com
or
B) Go with the whole it wasnt meant to be thing and treat yourself to a new rear. Might i suggest the Do-Luck? Looks sick in Silver. Darren from Intense MotorSports has it on his car, and ive seen it in person. My god is it sexy. And Do-Luck just got more instock from like a 2month outof stock stage. And Intense has deep pockets with them, so they would be the people to go with if you do.

Just thinking about going to my local dealer and buying the touch up paint...
Ouch! Fvkng A$$3s!
If the screws didn't crease or crack the plastic, you might be able to get away with just some touch-up paint. Unfortunately, if they did crease or crack the plastic, repairing it can be almost as much if not more than just getting a new bumper cover. Get an estimate from a good body shop and see what they say.

Man if you really dont want to pay the $800 for a cool looking custom Bumper iam selling my Esprit rear bumper lip for $200 + shipping. This way you get a cool aftermarket look for not a high price
. It is DB so youd have to repaint it, but it wouldnt be that bad to repaint it, only like $100-150.
Here are some pics.

Maybe I'll buy your stock bumper for $200?
those are pretty minor dings, a body shop should be able to repair, but will have to repaint the whole bumper. Shouldn't cost 800, more like 200-300 for the bumper. Still a lot of money for a ding though.
