no pics, but i'll describe the dent as barely noticable, but it's there. threre are 3 scratches;
1 is about 1 inch long and maybe 1/8" wide.
2 are nicks.

What color? I just had some work done on mine. It's silver, which the shop said is very hard to match when doing small touch-ups. Other colors you should just get some touch-up paint and it should look fine.

Sheeze, an 07,

Id have their insurance pay for it, thats what its for.

Its a new car, you want to keep it that way dont you? Have a pro shop do it, and let the insurance pay for it.

Is it a lease or are you buying it?
