Hi,

A cat managed to basically commit suicide in front of my car the other night and I was pretty surprised to see that is damaged the bottom offside portion of my front bumper, the light cluster has become slightly dislodged

Hoping that is shouldn't be too expensive to get fixed, thoughts?

Helps if you know what a standard Z4 bumper looks like I guess:p

Did you make sure the cat was dead? Was it near housing?
 
Really? You can't see the mangled bumper and cracking along the leading edge?

With eyesight like that, I don't think you should be on the road! :p

Oi! It doesn't help that you've decided to reflect a forest off the affected area! :p
 
I can't actually make out the damage?


Are you guys for real? The plastic grille no longer fits because the hole has changed shape, can't you see the enourmous kink/bulge in the plastic in the bottom centre of the shot?
 
good work on killing the cat. 1 down lots to go....

on worse notes, if it all just sit back in place shouldn't be too bad, but if the plastic is 'deformed' then new bumper / re-spray will not be too cheap.

Yeah sorry for the crappy photo, the bulge is actually supposed to be there it's the front of a BMW 335i ;)

Plastic isn't deformed just a few minor "scratches" and the light cluster is dislodged.

As for the cat it was "definitely" dead.
