Paintless dent removal?

Doesn't look bad man. Unless you're OCD or just a stickler for detail, you barely even notice. At least, in the photos.

PDR will not work since those parts are plastic, they can't bend it back like metal. But I don't think it look too bad now.

Dang. I was fussing over my car rolling back into the garage recently and that damage literally buffed off. There have been a lot of folks here who got their babies damaged within the first few weeks of ownership, this stuff happens and you learn to live and do your best to take care of your baby and restore it. At least we dont have 6 figure-7 figure collector cars, think of the paranoia those guys have!

1) on this forum, a guy whose car got hailed at when he was in the DMV registering his new car!
2) fellow on this thread
3) Oppo who had someone back into his car on his way to work
4) fellow at the gym whose new V6 15 was smashed into by a girl doing an illegal U-turn, 2nd day of owning it.

Maybe a poll is in order? Could be interesting; the S550 has only been on the road for about 6 months at most.
1-Damage you did yourself 2-Damage caused by others 3-Still no damage
Or would it open up too many old (fairly recent) wounds?
(PS I am too lazy to start one)

I'm one of those statistics too. I had my car something like 4 days. My son had just come home from weekend drills with the Nat. Guard and brought a friend home to work on his '04 GT with a manual trans.
He let him sit in my car, crank it up and then he jumped out of the car not checking the shifter. My new car with 250 miles on it slammed into the house causing close to the same damage as OP's. $1500 to replace the nose, grill and splitter.

Ouch!!! Sorry to hear that, at least shes back to new! I dont let anyone drive my car, period.

The touchup doesn't look bad at all honestly. If you want to save some money leave it like that for a bit. You can hardly notice it honestly.

Sunday I parked at my local store on post away from all the other cars. As I was coming out a guy parked his car right in front of mines pretty close, in other words front bumper to front bumper. He didn't know that I was the owner until I passed him up. I then ask myself why would he do such a ignorant thing. The potential to hit another car is greater when you park next to someone. Their were 30 different open spaces in the area and which some spaces were even closer to the store from where I was. addle:

I think its all swings and roundabouts, when i had my S197 had no choice but to park in crowded carparks, overseas had to leave the car for days in shopping carparks. had to park somewhere.
I find that if you get a nice car and its parked on its own, people will always park next to you, cause they think maybe you know something and that's why you park out of the way, so it must be safer
