So my Model 3 was the victim of a careless driver who swiped it pretty good, there is a lot of paint transfer.
The bumper cover has a high end Suntek film on it as well as ceramic and I’m wondering if there’s any chance the paint underneath is okay if it is pulled off or if it just makes more sense to throw the bumper in the trash and have a new one put on which would then have to be re-filmed.

The paint transfer did not come off at all with some light scrubbing.

looks like they cracked one of the fog light covers and I’m not sure if that’s available separately but assume it is.

Very slightly tagged the rim but I have a good random orbital buffer that can probably fix that myself.

I’m always really careful about parking my car in safe spots so this is even more annoying. My sentry has not been recording properly for a few weeks so unfortunately I have no video of the event.
