I pulled the Bullitt out of the garage this weekend & washed & waxed it. While I was washing the front bumper, I was trying to see how bad the scrapes were where it had been hit last summer (right front bumper got tagged in the parking lot at work 1 week after we got the car). Well, I couldn't see any of the scuff marks or scrapes in the paint, so I looked closer when I rinsed the car off & sure enough, they were gone. So I called my wife out to look & she concurs, someone either switched bumpers or did a hell of a paint job. The only conclusion we can come to is that when it was at the dealers in October for the shift fork repair, they:

1. Either repaired it out of the godness of their hearts :roll: or
2. They thought they had damaged the bumper & replaced or repired it themselves without telling us.
The car was at the dealers for over 3 weeks, which could be attributed to the extra time for fixing the bumper. I think I'm gonna ask the head tech if he knows anything about it. On the one hand, they did a nice job & I like their service department, but on the other hand, I think it's deceptive not to tell a customer you made repairs without their knowledge, especially if you thought you were responsible for the damage. Still, it's weird ... What are people's thoughts?

Sounds like Outer Limits stuff to me. But what the heck its fixed. That never happens to me. Always have to fix it myself.

Yep! Very odd indeed.

After the trip to the dealers (where it stayed for 3 weeks) did it go right back in the garage and you haven't driven it since?

I think if "they" fixed it, they were trying to pull a fast one. Better have a look under the bumper and the surrounding area. Who knows what else they might have done why they were there.....?

On the "other hand", I'd leave well enough alone.

Never look a gift horse in the mouth. Perhaps they washed your car before pickup and buffed out your bumper when they saw the scratches. I'd probably send them a couple of pizzas in order to guarantee good work in the future.

I'll bet they bumped something not realizing it was already damaged. Let's hope they don't read this or you may get a bill. LOL

Chances are they won't even remember, or admit it if they did fix it on the sly.

I'd chalk this up as a gift and look the car over real good before and after the next dealer visit. :smile:
