Good Day Nairaland, I tried parking my friend's car yesterday night and i without concentrating, bashed it against a piller.

I have be worried since morning and want to fix it before he comes back, he traveled to the village.

Is it something serious, or just the bumper.
And how much will it cost to repair.

Please help a brother.

You should be happy say you no break the headlights..... Go visit panel beater with nothing less than 15k make dem restore am to default

Or yet still, call your friend and inform him the incident... Send him pictures and wait for his advice

Nobody is above mistake

@ miranwa
Don’t fix his car without his knowledge. Get his consent first, so you don’t end up worsening an already bad situation. Before you call him though, do thorough assessment to get a good estimate of cost so that he won’t panic too much when he learns about the damage.

Funny enough I was in this position with a friend’s car last two Friday. With this exact car! Mine the tyre burst. Changed it and fix the spare only for two to burst again as if I carry elephants and i was alone o! I quietly bought the 3 tyre for him brand new. I knew the car had multiple faults and still went ahead to borrow it. The day! My friend sent me list of 70k that his mechanic said this and that upon the 3 tyre I bought this guy! He wants to take advantage of me to fix already existing fault I noticed in the car while driving it. I just ignored him and didn’t reply his chat. Baba Kukuma get the message and leave me alone lol

airminem:

The grill is fine with glue the bumper isn't dent at all that's why I advise people to go for told bumper the only thing I see there is just the bonnet which will be done with just 2k to 5k due to the fact that the panel is going to work on the grill as well and painter no fit collect reach 10k and the remaining 5k Na just incase of anything come up and after fixing the car please do tell your friend, he might para for you but just make sure say anything wey he talk just tell am sorry and with time he go heal

You are just being mischievous and foolish, first of all call him to inform him about the incident, no matter how you try to repair or conceal it he will spot it soon or later.

Trustme2:

Haba for wetin na. Just prepare 5k or less sef

He will buy new grill.

He will flash paint on the body on top the bonnet and bumper..

N30,000 to N40,000

grafixdon:
Prepare at least 20k

Breakdown:
Panel workmanship N5k
Painting (Bonnet and Bumper) N15k
Total = N20k

New grill

Smithkline200:
Call your friend and inform him..

Don't fix his car without his knowledge please.

If he gets to find out later, he would never trust you again.

Please call him first. apologize and let him know you are ready to fix it. you may wish to get a quote first from a panel beater.

MikeMicheal:

Hahah.. Dude no give a brother heart attack

Miranwa:
will the change the Bumper

no need to change...just meet a panel beater

How about the electric pole? I hope it's not broken?

Better not fix the car by yourself
Allow him to come back and repair by himself
Call him and inform him , if he give u go ahead , u repair
I know most people like repair their cars themselves

How about buying him another one, after all no body send you before u use a friends car carry olosho cox of valentine
