Mention it to her when you haven't seen any additional dings for a while. Let her know that you're occasionally watching her progress. And, perhaps, make her either clean off her bumper or pay once in a while to have the paint scratches washed off.

Niiiiice. That'd be good advice if you were married to a 12-year-old or a cocker spaniel, but not so hot if your wife is an adult woman.
One day lurkette confessed all the stuff she's mowed down in parking lots (she's been pretty hard on the local shopping carts, as it turns out). I was completely flabbergasted. I suspect, sky_driver, that you have no idea the extent of her bumpiness. This is why lurkette has HER car, and I have MY car.
I guess I'm a little worried about somebody getting bumped by her and going off, but I'm pretty sure I can count on her innate cuteness to get her out of a jam.
