2015 Turbo Front bumper repair Help!
Hey guys, I’m pretty new to the community (2 weeks since I got my manual 2015 Veloster Turbo) and today when I walked over to where my car was parked... my front bumper was ripped clean off and left laying on the ground. The passenger side fender has a nice dent on it. So I’m assuming some a**hole hit the fender and ripped the bumper clean off.
The real kicker is that I just have liability on my insurance (I was waiting to save a couple more bucks to upgrade it, since I just had spent money on buying the car) so my insurance doesn’t cover this. Today I went to a couple of body shops and the rough average of the quotes were around 1.5 - 2.5k ( for a new fender, new bumper, grill and paint) The screws/nuts that are molded in the bumper were ripped right off... So I’m completely screwed on that end.
My question is ... should I go with and after market bumper/grill ? Should I just Jerry rig this until I save up the 2grand? Should I go to a less reputable body shop and get the bumper I already have fixed? Any suggestions? I’m just pissed off right now and in need of any advice from you guys! Thank you so much for taking the time and reading all of this.
PS... Don’t leave your car parked in a Philly street
