Default damage...

It's nothing too horrendous (compared to other pics I've seen on here) but I was wondering if anyone could give me a guess on how much it would cost to fix? Sratches on right and left side of bumper, a gouge above the left fog light and a ding (and deep scratch) on the left quarter panel. (two different angles below of the ding on the quarter panel)
Thanks.

Default wierd, i have a ding on my rear quarter panel almost exactly like that..

it is just on the corner more (and thus much harder to bump out..)

it's been there since I bought the car in february though

Default accumulated damage over time...

I got the ding on the quarter panel in a parking lot this spring...first time I parked my car at school after I got it ...I have no idea where the scratches came from on the right side (noticed them this fall) and the gouge and scratches on the left side came from a rock that was buried in the snow when I was parking at a trail head last week.

Default I think the ding was from a construction vehicle parked near me in a lot....

couldn't get them to foot the bill because I didn't notice it until later, didn't report it to the MPs right away and the guy managing the construction up there said there were multiple contractors up there working at the time so he couldn't tell who did it.

Default if your handy you can repair the bumper on your own and have a shop paint it for you.

The shop charged me 120 to paint my A4 bumper and Oettinger front lip. Fixing the gouges and smoothing it out isn't so hard just some epoxy and sanding. It'll save you some money. As for the dig on the trunk I don't know that thing looks weird to me haha.
