Sorry to hear about your bumper troubles.
My wife hit our garage with my black E1, scraping the crap out of it and making nice pretty white paint designs all over it. It also slightly bent the front 1/4 panel where the bumper mounts to the car (you may want to check yours too).
Joe Madden Body Shop (Downers Grove) quoted me $63 yesterday to buff it out. However, it won't look new, as there are some areas worn thru the paint. Sucks, cuz I'm not likely to pay the $500 (or more) to have them refurbish or replace the bumper. We'll see how it goes.
Good luck!
