In an attempt to get my cheap ass carbon fibre diffuser to fit better, my installer accidentally scratched my rear bumper. They have touched it up and while its very minor, it is noticeable from a few meters away and like a paper-cut, it hurts simply because I know its there.

I should add that the installer has been good about it and has owned the mistake. They've offered to pay me some cash to leave it or to pay for a whole bumper respray, should I choose it. Other than a respray of the entire bumper (and the issues that may come with that), does anyone know of a way to get this to look better than what it is some other way?

What should I do?

Take the cash - leave it as it is - and consider it a lesson learned.

Trying to match yellow with a respray is going to be a major pain in the ass, and you will probably forget its even there in a year.

Touchup paint applied with one of these.
