Front Bumper Replacement

[PatsFan]

Hello

My front left side bumper accidentally got tangled with garage wall and got pulled out a little. See the pictures for damage. All lights are working fine, sensor is working fine as well. No tears or bends in bumper except for couple of scratches. I went to showroom and they told me that they have to replace entire bumper because left sensor bracket that holds the left sensor broke and that bracket is part of bumper. They were able to push the bumper back in as temporary fix secured the sensor with temporary bracket and I drove home. They gave me a quote of $1000-1500 for replacing the bumper. Do you guys think it’s worth to replace the bumper ?

Not sure why you would need to replace the whole bumper if there was no real damage to it. I'd personally just live with it. How does it look with the temporary bracket in place?

Here are the after pictures. Sorry the quote they gave is $500-600. They said quote might go down or up based on damage inside , they couldn’t take out entire bumper so gave a rough estimate. Looks like they taped the sensor now because bracket that holds it is damaged This 500 includes replacing bumper , one sensor if it’s damaged and plastic caps/pieces damaged inside. Sensors are all working fine as I got warnings when parking inside my garage.

Sizable gap. Any issues at high speeds?

what gap, thats just tesla oem fitment xD

on a serious note, take it to a respectable shop. they can prob re-adjust that bumper so it fits like new and glue that bracket back in place.

This is the difference in seeing right now , damaged side has a gap the other side doesn’t

If it's $500 - $600, then no harm in replacing the bumper & the sensor.

Surprised you got such a good offer for whole bumper replacement. I got a quote today for front bumper replacement of $900 parts +130 labor = $1030. Does anybody get similar price recently?

Seems pretty cheap, I would just do it at $500-$600

Did you have to order the front bumper from Tesla and have the service done at a Tesla certified repair shop? I need to have the same job done to my M3. Thanks

That quote matches what my local Tesla Service Center quoted me for front bumper replacement.
