Is it necessary to repair scratches on the front bumper?
1 Answers
Repairing scratches on the front bumper is necessary if they affect the vehicle's appearance; otherwise, it may not be needed. The bumper is a plastic component, and scratches can damage the paint, exposing the black plastic underneath, which indeed affects the car's aesthetics. If the bumper is scratched, it's advisable to have it repainted at a 4S shop. The primary function of the bumper is to protect pedestrians. As vulnerable road users, plastic bumpers help mitigate the impact on a pedestrian's legs, especially the lower legs, and, combined with the bumper's design, reduce the severity of injuries in case of a collision. Additionally, bumpers serve as safety devices that absorb and lessen external impacts, protecting the front and rear parts of the vehicle.
