We learned a valuable lesson about the "VDC OFF" button today thanks to b1ades

Anyone got any ideas as to how I can help fix the scrape on the bumper?

I ain't got no money for a body shop fix. Thinking more like touch up paint or something. I don't need it to look perfect, just be a lot less noticeable.

Honestly, I'm not gonna say that I will never turn VDC off again. I won't for a while, but I will be a lot more careful next time and not try to push the limits of my car so much. This same sort of thing could have happened on a track with the VDC off too. Hell this road was pretty much like a track, but a lot more bumpy.

Luckily the bumper didn't get any dings or deep cuts in it, you could always purchase touchup paint for the scrapes. No need to spend a fortune on the scratches as it's really not bad man. Other thing you could do could be to go with cool vinyl or sticker over the scratch area...just throwing it out there.

What do you say that next time you have offroad plans, we slap a bumper cover on the car first

I think I'm gonna try the touch up paint. I'm just gonna get a car cover and cutout holes for the windows and a strip to get in through the door.

Honestly man that's gonna have to get repainted. I felt those scratches and they were deep. Gonna need to be sanded down, filled, etc.

Maybe some folks up in MD can recommend a good shop for ya?
