Hit and run = Big front lip dent and broken headlight. Help.
 
Well, someone did it. No need to spent a lot of time finding who as this is going to result into losing time and perhaps more money. Was at a parking lot for a car show, no witnesses called, no cameras, nothing.

Result is a huge dent as big as your palm with the fingers open on the front passenger side. Also the headlight little part broke that covers the headlight washers.

Big question. Can that specific TINY PART of the light be replaced or do I have to replace the whole headlight system??????

As for the bumper, I know there is no pictures attached (will get some soon) but any previous people that had a similar experience? Did they replace with new or repair?

Thanks in advance,

Wish I could get him.

The triangular corner can be replaced without replacing the whole headlamp.

Sorry about the dent. That stinks.

You have no idea how happy your reply made me.

yup u can get the little triangle seperately.

take the car to a shop and see what they say, unless u already know that you want to get a diffrent upgraded bumper

yes, there are special repair kits for the bumper that the body shop uses. they will probably fix the dented part, bondo it and spray over. i don't think it will cost more than $300 but you can claim thru insurance if it cost more, which i doubt. it will look as good as new because the computer paint matching these days is superb. so don't worry too much.

Anyone know a good body shop here in Charlotte, NC?
