Estimated cost help???

[NadayM3]

Ladies and gentlemen,

I brushed my R1S up against a Holly bush and did some cosmetic damage (I hope only cosmetic). Everything is working fine, sensors etc etc.

Does anyone have any ideas of the cost to replace the plastic front side bumper piece?

I’m thinking of just having paint-less dent repair done or living with the dents.

Thanks for your input

Yeah PDR should be fairly simple if technician can reach out from inside…I had a small dent close to door border and was charged 250 to remove the dent…it was 90% cleared but yours is in middle and any good technician can fix it completely.

Thanks for the feedback, I’d love to know how much the black plastic bumper will cost. It’s barley out but won’t fit back in.

Loosen up and put it back in. Try a heat gun on that panel, might self heal.

A decent PDR Tech could get that dent out without much trouble. They could probably help you with that trim piece too. They usually have quite a bit of experience removing and replacing things like that.

Whew. Lucky you are driving an R1. Had you struck a holly bush driving a CT, holly bushes around the world would have become extinct... ?

A bush dented your truck, one heck of a bush.

Or one weak truck?

Hope it doesn't turn into one of these kind of repair...

The main issue was the camera and the attaching wire harness damage.
