Default Help me with my parking lot ding

So there's supposed to be power in the collective wisdom of forums like this...so let's see what ya got!

My new 16 daily driver got daily damaged :/ [yes people still hit parked cars]

It is a shame that one of the tabs on the front clip actually broke, because the Xpell Ultimate actually held up pretty well on it, the marker lamp, and front fender. Damage is through paint in very small areas.

I don't want it fixed on the cheap I want it fixed right.

1. Are / should these cars be fixed with all new replacement parts? or is stuff repairable?

2. Will i ever be happy with the repair? i tend to have high standards?

3. any other pointers on experience?

4. Is this a good enough reason to trade for a GrandSport in a year?

THanks!

If you read back on this forum I had reported that I had a run in with a motorcycle with my 16 Vette and had $8K of damage! I took it to B2 Perfection up in Sunnyvale. They did a good job.

I had a similar brush up in a parking lot and had it repaired at my dealer, You cannot tell anything ever happened! I was concerned with the color match but particularly with the texture and smoothness of the paint matching the hood and fenders. The color is perfect and the texture is just like the rest of the car! Be sure they take the bumper cover off to repair and repaint.
