Hole in front bumper.

Well it was only a matter of time.....

I was driving from work the other day and the road was pretty crowded, average speed 70-75 I see something bouncing up in front of me from a truck. I had no way out, the big chunk of metal hits my car, I was hoping it would miss and go around me. I get home and there is a hile ripped into my front bumper. approx. 3-4 inches wide and pretty deep.

What are my choices???? 2003 mini cooper pure silver.

1. Have dealer install new bumper
2. Purchase pre-painted body kit from MINI of Sterling
3. Just leave it and hope no one notices.
4. Use stylish Duct tape or silver vinyl and cover it up

The last 2 are jokes.....

Thanks in advance

You can probably get a good deal on a bumper from someone installing the Aero kit.

Maybe check eBay or your local Craigslist?
