About how much can one expect to pay to fix a small dent (about an inch) in the front bumper of a Ferrari (I think it’s a California but not 100% sure, don’t know the year)? Not much detail, I realize, but a ballpark figure would be helpful. ---

$25,000. If it were MY ferarri I’d want a whole new fender, not a repair. Of course, not knowing the story, I can only throw out a very wild guess. ---

Is it a dent in plastic bumper cover, or in metal? Either way, it’s big $$. Insurance should be involved in this. ---

It’s probably a dent in the carbon fiber fender…oops…$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Texases made a great point. You need to give us something to work with. And tell us what the insurance company said. ---

If you need to ask, you can’t afford to own this car…Repairing and maintaining Italian sports cars is a completely separate industry, not part of the normal automotive repair system…They are all Fiats, they just have different price-points and name badges… With a little effort, you can post a picture or two of the dent in question and get world-wide responses… ---

If you don’t know what model it is . . . it isn’t yours, I suppose. Could you post more details and maybe a picture? Love to know how it happens you’re in this dilemna. Rocketman ---

I think the bumper is the least of your problems. ---

Not that California, I bet it’s this (much less valuable) one: ![](http://world-viewer.com/data_images/ferrari-california/ferrari-california-10.jpg) ---

@Caddyman If OP doesn’t know which model it is, he doesn’t own it. He just ran into it. ---

I doubt if we’ll hear from the OP again. The answers we gave him were, I suspect, not what he was hoping for.
