    I've recently had a low speed impact around 15 miles/h. My bumper exploded with the headlight and it dented the front right wing and pushed the hood and left wing. When I sent it to the shop to get it fixed the gave me a estimate of 8300$. When I asked why it was so high they told me it was because the metal mix on this car can't be unbent and they have to replace both wings and hood. I've never seen a car that can't be unbent is this true or are they just ripping off the insurance.

    They might be able to fool you but I doubt they could fool the insurance company. What do they say about it?
