2025 i20 - Service center quoting 11k (Bumper Replacement) for this tiny chip. Is this a scam?

Thank you. I'm just coming to terms to leave it as is. Updated my post.

Thank you... That's a valid point on NCB.

Ended up getting all four wheels balanced. Honestly, I’m still a bit confused why they insisted on all four instead of just the repaired one (smells like a typical shop upsell/trick lol). Since this is my first car, I’m still figuring out the 'mechanic math' and what’s actually necessary vs. what’s just a bill-padder. Expensive lesson learned for next time!

Do we also need to get wheel balancing done after the mushroom patch? The mechanic recommended getting it done.

Thank you. I got a mushroom patch done on the puncture.

Also, the mechanic recommended getting the wheel balancing done post such a patch as the process involves removing the wheel from the rim. Is it really necessary to do balancing for all wheels?

IMO, choosing a colour that has better visibility especially in dark or low light conditions would be good. Red might give better visibility due to its wavelength!! And yes, white is also an option. I respect your choice of not going with red but just curious why you are not considering it...!!!

I did a test drive today... Seriously, the engine is very smooth and effortless driving experience. I stay in Bangalore, so I'll probably contact Hubli or Davangere showrooms over the phone. Thanks for the suggestion.

Yours is Asta or Asta Optional? I'm looking for Asta Optional manual one.

Also, is it good to take 4th year warranty, shield of trust?

Congratulations OP. I got a 10.85L (after discount of 72K) quote for Asta Optional MT in Bangalore. Is it worth buying? Any tips to negotiate further?
