Small accident, need advice. - Toyota Yaris Forums

Hey,
Just thought I'd check in! My Yaris got back from the shop on Friday, mechanically intact. I have driven 300 miles since then with no issues to report. Total cost of repairs so far has been around $300 (radiator and radiator support). I am expecting the new drivers side fender and front bumper cover to arrive for this Friday, at which point I will send them away to be painted. When the bumper comes back I'll be sending it away once again to be 'rubber-wrapped', to protect the investment. Last year I found myself scraping the bottom of my bumper cover every time I pulled in to my school's campus.

Overall, I'm surprised at how inexpensive this has been, and even more surprised at how well the car held up throughout it all. If I get a minute, I'll post a picture of the temporary bumper fix that we created, It's pretty funny looking!
