Consumer Description

I ACCIDENTALLY ROLLED INTO A CYCLONE FENCE. I KNEW I COULDN'T HAVE DONE DAMAGE AT SUCH A LOW SPEED. BUT I DID CHECK THE FENCE AND NO DAMAGE. WHEN I CHECKED MY VEHICLE THERE WAS A DENT IN THE FASCIA FROM THE FENCE WIRE. THIS IS WHEN I NOTICED THE BUMPER WAS FLUSH WITH THE FASCIA FRONT AND SIDES. WHAT GOOD IS A BUMPER THAT DOESN'T PROTECT THE BODY PANELS? THIS COULD BE AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR EVEN AT 5 MPH, OR A EYE SORE FOR A NEW EXPENSIVE VEHICLE.
