Yes, if it was a painted bumper, then this would be feasible.
But this one is a black plastic bumper (unpainted). From my knowledge, I think it would be impossible to remove the scratches unless it is replaced. He would use this clause unless CD members could tell me otherwise.
From my view $200 is reasonable. I could even afford to give $300. But $ 500 is a bit too much.
Anyway, Thanks a lot for your reply.

To ask this guy to get lost just ask youself:
1. Whether the police officer noted any of your or car details. they write in a diary and you will not know
2. did you give this guy your insurance details etc.

Desi #1,
The police did not note down the number in his note book.
But i did share my insurance details with this guy! He seems to be a smart guy and speaks with a good accent. I donot think that i can get away by asking him to get lost.
Since i did not get any good suggestions as of now, I think that i will have to pay him. One thing that i can do is to request him to reduce atleast $200 from his stated sum of $500.

Correct me if I am wrong - if a guy has an accent, it is not a good thing as per Canadian norms

TK,
The best option for you is to negotiate a bit. We all desi's are good in negotiating
If its a small scratch, probably he's not going to repair or mend the bumper but sure.... so any amount he's getting is his gain
and your loss
So try to negotiate and come down to $300 or even to $100
