Well, stupid me did something similar. Pulling into a parking spot (on the end) and THOUGHT the curb I was pulling up to was perpendicular to the stripes on the parking spot but, NOoooo...it formed an acute angle and I was looking (with door open) the front left of the car to get about a foot or two from it and the right side ran up on it (because of the angle).
Now I have scrape on the black flange (sport) and part of the red is scratched. So, what did they do to your car to make it look nearly like it was for only $160 !? I'm just sick about my stupidity...

Well I guess I should have mentioned it was an old family friend that did the work. Ie that's how I got such a good deal. I was more than impressed with the fix. The gash was deep... He used an epoxy mix to fill both the lip and the bottom panel. Paint was $56. The morning I went to lick up the at I brought $300 to pay him and he refused to take the money. Finally got him to take at least $100. He will be getting the rest in an Xmas card! There's no doubt that if I went to a different shop I would have paid a small fortune to get the same work done.

Yea those scrapes were pretty deep I would of started by buffing and polishing it down as far as I could go, then a good quick fix is filling with black pigment wax. That would have been the way if you didn't want to spend any money. I have already scraped my black "sport Package" spoiler once or twice.
