Angry NO! Ding In My Bumper

Parked my Lancer parallel in the city today. Came back with slightly more white paint on my car than I remember it having (especially considering it's a black car).

Some douchebag did a hit and run. Dented/distorted the rear bumper, scratched the **** out of my right rear light and scratched the paint up something serious.

Can anyone suggest the best/cheapest wat of repairing the damage?

Note: The flash makes it look worse as the flash lights up the invisible scratches.

dammm ey.
u may get lucky and may be able to use some good polish or somthing similar and polish off/rub off the white paint and some scratches which will make the damage alot less noticable!
if that dont work id say just paint the bumper again. which would be the more expensive option

Theres this stuff called cut and buff, its like a green paste, that you use with a buffing wheel on a drill. Will get rid off soft scratches. But dont use too much or you will take the paint off too .

Would also work on your lights i recon (if they are plastic).

But for deep cuts and dents, yeah might have to do a bit of professional work.

Cut and buff stuff i got from autoone, im sure most car shops have it.

Take it to a panel shop for a quote - might only be $300 to do it right...

Ok thanks guys. Hopefully a cut and polish should get most of the paint off. I don't know what to do about the dent/distorted bit of the bumper. It's hard to see in the pics but there's a small area where the paint has come right off. Maybe I'll wait for someone to fully rear end me so thier/my insurance fixes it.

More suggestions are welcome!
