Patch up fiberglass? My car was stolen a few weeks ago and it has minor damage (mostly interior). Bad thing is, the city where they brought the car has ALL of their parking lots 1 ft higher above the streets that lead to them (reason I never drive the car to that city). Needless to say, they drove it STRAIGHT into one of those parking lots 
. It tore parts of fiberglass off of the bottom of the bumper. The bodyshop that the insurance company is getting to work on the car says that they'll put more fiberglass in that area and repaint it. To me, that is 
. I think it should get a new bumper because it just doesn't seem like patching will last in the long run. What do you guys think? A whole new bumper or let them patch it? TIA

**** THAT, did your car come with a patch on from the factory?No, it didn't, you have the right to have your car restored to the condition it was in before it was stolen, tell them no way are they going to put some BS patch on it, you want a new front fascia (or equivalent used), if they give you any ****, get a lawyer ASAP
