hit the wall and scratched my heart

Hi all,

I have a recently bought 09 G37 sedan (only a month old)! And while coming out of self-service car wash today, I happen to hit the wall and get pretty good scratch on my right fender and bumper! I had clear-bra installed few weeks back, and thankfully it took most of the damage. But still I have slight ding on fender and a visible paint-chip on the bumper.

Can you please recommend me what I should do now? I want to get it back to as new condition as possible?
Is it possible to remove only the damaged part of clearbra and get new film over it?

I'm really sad today. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanking you in advance,
bik

ouch, did you remove the clear bra already? if not I would do that first to get an idea of how much real damage there is.

Man that sucks. Yes you should be able to just have the damaged portion replaced.

oh man i thought you were gonna be the guy that hit the wall in that track video lol

first remove the clear bra and see what youre working with.

To me it looks like your gonna have to repaint the bumper and fender anyway so you'd have to get a new full clear bra on it anyway.
