Default rear ended yesterday

my month old z got rear ended yesterday.. minor accident rather..
no dent.. some scratches... I was dead stop at red light when crazy biatch jetta driver hit me from back. I fuc'n wanted to kill her when she said 'ah it's nothing' no matter how small the damage is, you don't damage someone else's property and goes hey it's nothing

anyway for the scratch removal, should i just go detail shop or.. what should I expect to fix the damage? i can't post picture atm, but I can clearly see black bumper marks on my ppw even though i tried to clean them out..

I recommend taking it to the dealership to have it repair/repainted.

I agree with everyone else, get that bumper repainted, and charge it to her insurance

You didn't call the police and file a report? Oh man, this could turn into a nasty "He said, she said" battle if she denies ever hitting you.

+1 on the bodyshop. Cosmetic damage isn't nearly as important as hidden structural damage in a minor rear collision, and only a bodyshop can confirm that.

Happened to me, slight crease, barely noticeable on a SB EXCEPT TO ME! $650 check from her insurance, still have not gotten fixed yet, waiting until spring. Maybe someone else will hit me again and I can use it to paint the front end! The $650 was based on an aftermarket new bumper.
