Hey guys, I just bought an 08 350z with only 2200 miles on it. The car is in surprisingly great condition except for a few parts. The black plastic grill thing on the front bumper has a fairly deep scratch in it that's about 1/2 inch long. It's really not noticeable, but it has been bothering me to no end. Is there any way I could repair it? I think that particular part is molded to the bumper so I think I'd have to buy a new bumper to replace it (which I will if necessary).

Also, one of the front and one of the rear wheelwells are pretty torn up, would it be worth replacing them?

Thanks!

 

there are members parting out entire cars here. You could find the wheel wells fairly easily if you wanted to get new ones.

 

I think the front bumper is not worth repairing, buy an aftermarket one. Example Nismo V2

 

Plastic doesn't repair well IMO. Replace it if it really bothers you, otherwise leave it alone.

 

2200 miles and the rims are noticable torn up...How bad a driver was the previos owner lordy.

The front bumper isnt worth fixing.

 

If its not going to be a garage queen then I would just leave it alone, you will inevitably continue damaging the bumper due to rock ships of other road debris.

 

replace that bumper and give me the old one

 

Because of a half inch scratch that you can't even notice, you'll be willing to replace the entire bumper? Nissans paint sucks, so the bumper will see worse in the future.

 

Welcome and congratulations. Photos always helpful.

 

It's actually the wheelwell liners that are messed up, the wheels are in good shape. Thanks for the advice so far!

 

I had something similae happen, not much you can do unfortunately.

Did you get a carfax on the car before you bought it.

 

Yes, the carfax was clear of any accidents.

 

Got you, well enjoy the ride and try not to sweat the little stuff. There are people on here who have had to repair thousands in damages.

 

True....it's just frustrating knowing that there is really no way to repair it.

 

theres a way to repair it.. its called replacing the bumper.. do you really want to spend that much to repair it
