Bumper Cover
About a year ago, someone with a truck or SUV backed into my car while it was parked outside of work.
Of course they didn't leave a note, and the damage was substantial.
The repairs at a body shop are quite expensive, but I've found that doing most of the work myself will save a lot of money.
I am purchasing the parts one at a time, and will take the ones that need to be painted to a body shop.
Then I will replace the damaged parts myself.
I already have the new replacement grill and VW emblem.
The bumper cover is one of the few parts I have left to get.
I have found that buying the parts aftermarket on EBay is less than half the cost of buying them from the dealer.
