Dented my car while parking.
So I was at State college for the first game and I go into a parking garage to park. Anyway I see a mini coupe and an audi. So I decide thats a great place to part so i start to pull in into the parking spot. And im kinda close to the mini. Anyway I tab the mini coupe, luckily it was the plastic part on his car, which resulted in no damage on his part at all. But I got a dent on my front bumper (the crease right below the head light) and its about an inch or smaller. Anyway Im upset and Ill post a picture when I get a camera. Do you guys think it will pop back out because it is kinda hot out or would I have to get a paintless dent removal or can i just do it myself and if not how much would it cost. Just tryin to get some advice. Thanks

So you tried to find somewhere safe to park, yet you were the one who tapped the other car? Don't want to flame, but that's pretty bad. As for your bumper, I would just try to push it out from behind. Not sure if a PDR will work on a plastic bumper.

yea I left my name and number. I check for damage but didnt see any. I said if he sees any to give me a call. I hit the plastic part of his car so it just bent and poped back out. no paint trade or anything.

Remove the bumper cover and see if you can push the crease out. Very likely you can at least reduce it.

head in first? I find backing up is a lot easier to not hit other cars.. leaving me the only worries of anything sticking out (but I do have parking sensor on all 3 bmws, so it's not so much of a problem)

some asshole did the same thing to me, but left no note. I was in a parking garage and he must have backed out, but turned the wheel too quickly so his front bumper grazed my back bumper leaving me 3 large scratches well into the paint and now I an not sure what to do. Not gonna buy a new bumper because it's a lease.
