Default Damage to your scion?

So I walk out this morning to brush some snow off my Xa and I see on the front, bumper 4 tiny dents. I was at my girlfriends house lastnight, and this idiot always backs up to parlk in front of me on the street. I did not notcie it lastnight so I go home and and this mornging i get a nice 4 dent gift. So I am going to his house tonight. What should I do? can I do anything? I mean it was his car, I KNOW IT! maybe my next purchase will be a body kit. haha.

that really sucks. Theres not much you can legally do.
Before you do anything irrational, make sure you have evidence it was him.

See if the dents do line up, then call the cops to write a report. When this jackleg sees the flashing lights, let him talk to the law. I wouldn't confront this guy. Let him say why he can't feel backing into another car.

All xA's have these. It's a design defect.

i don't think it's so much o f a design defect as it is a guide to help you line up drilling holes for a front plate, if you need one.

<---saw the dents in her front bumper and found that they line up perfectly with the bracket that came with the car.

That sucks. We're building a carport for my driveway to protect my little Scion from crap like that.

I have ton of scraches caused by my dog or my unclear driving.

1: Long scrach underneath my front bumper caused by pulling into someone's driveaway to turn around and it happened within two hours of me driving it off car lot.
2: Many claw scraches from the dog. On back bumper, inside passenger doors. (I just keep thinking...It's just a car, And those scraches can be touched up)
3: Rock or Pebble chips on the front end, caused by alot of interstate driving and tailgating.

That's about it...I just keep piling up on miles since I just started a job that is 40 miles per a way. But it's worth it.
