Red face W124's are TANKS - crashed - NO dmg to my car

Well, gotta run, but in recap, I backed into a '04 Honda today with my dr side rear corner.

W124 dmg- paint scraped(?) - let's see if or how much buffs out, right on the edge / corner.

2004 Honda Accord - well fortunately not too much, but front plastic bumper cracked, and nose piece broke....

Dmg to pocket book? Guy agreed to take to my freind's shop... $350... Fortunately he was able to get some mexican parts vs OEM... as an example there was one piece that cost $35 for mexican aftermarket vs $150 for OEM!!

Props for my car (if it doesnt' tick anymore ) damage = $0

honda = $350 ++ if it would be retail or insurance claim....

update

cleaned, buffed, waxed the area affected and there is definitely no body damage, I can retouch it up without having to paint the whole bumper section, but you will be able to tell the touch up probably .... or ... guess depends how you look at it. Over stood up very well...
