Something to consider is if you want it on your vehicle's history report. Responsibly party paying cash or going through insurance?
I've always heard good things about D&V Auto Body in Sterling. |

factory certified collision center. be warned, thats going to be a 3k+ repair- if the other party was going to take care of it out of insurance, they will likely balk. plastic bumpers cant really be repaired, the correct fix is a new cover.

It needs fixed. I would spot that spot right away if I were inspecting your X7. The issue then becomes the idea of “what else is damaged I can’t see?” Not fixing it will come back to haunt you either resale or trade-in.

I’d take a cash settlement and run. I wonder if some heat and PDR could get it close to OE. |

the cover is about 1K, the rest is labor and materials. repair doesnt make sense, on a flexible item like a bumper you'll end up with failure with any flexing, like bumping something in the same spot. plus the labor to prep the repaired bumper for paint is going to be close or more than the labor to paint a replacement. CCRCs are second only to the VDCs and factory in terms of ability to repair. they have access to the same tools and processes that the factory has. that being said, a well reviewed local shop should be able to handle this repair. you want to make sure the paint match is good and that they dont try to blend the adjacent panels.
