The bumper can easily be heated out and straightened. The bonnet will have to be removed and straightened, cause its metal some hammering/potty filling and respraying will be needed. All a days job. Cost should not be more than 7-8k max includinglabour. But get a good panel beater, very important. Best of luck!

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.

Oga I warn you again. Do not work on his car without informing him. Hell will be let lose when he comes back and finds out you worked and resprayed his car. I’ve been in your situation before. Let him know, he won’t kill you....

Guy, you call him your friend right?
Do the right thing, be mature and responsible, come clean with him and let him know you have bashed his car. Let him know you're sorry but offer to repair it. He prolly has insurance on the car or he has a preferred body works engineer that he'd rather use
Trust me, if you repair it without telling him, he would know and that could really strain the friendship.
You're guys, we don't take things too personal like girls and we'd cherish a friend who can look us in the eye and say "guy i know say I fvck up but no vex".

I was about advising same. Call your friend and explain to him. He might be very mad but he won’t kill you. Just be prepared to foot the bills for repairs when he comes back or if he gives you a go ahead.
A bad panel beater & painter will only succeed in ruining this car.

You guys are very funny.

Do you know the issues/problems that took his friend to the village? He should come back to meet another wahala?

If the accident happened on the high way,and probably had to fix something for the car to move,he should leave the car and wait for his friend to come back from the village ,abi?

I beg fix the car and tell him when he comes back.

Moreover ,it's a minor damage that would not bring any complication or regret ,even from the worst panel beater.

It's not serious bro, take it to a panel beater but make sure you tell him what just happened upon his arrival.

Panel beater to restore bonnet and bumper to their original look and position.

Painter to spray the bonnet and bumper.

Budget between ₦25,000 to ₦50,000.

PS: lesson to other people, don't always rush to drive your friends car, wait till God provide your own for you, if you get your own car and something happened ,you get rest of mind.

It will bring regret if the car catalyst is stolen by the panel beater and obviously the OP he’s ignorant about automobile and doesn’t know what catalyst means. That’s over 100k loss
Re: Help, I Bashed My Friend's Car by Drizzy5001(m): 4:13pm On Feb 15, 2021
Budget between 30 to 50k
But it's better u inform him, coz he might find out later, and it will ruin the trust he has for you.

Okay, my seniors and juniors listen.

For example, my OG bash my car and he secretly fix am, we are done for life. We can no longer be friends. I'm sorry.

Tell me about it, i will be upset (it's the human part of me) but either i fix it or we fix it. Na so e just be. Dem nor dey kill person put.

Fix my car for my back, and stand to loose our friendship.

Oga OP, tell your guy if you value una friendship.
