Hit an object on highway last week heard a bang just like rock to the windshield except the the windshield was fine.
A few days later my wife asked if I hit a curb that's when I noticed 4 inch indentation on the bottom passenger side front bumper, and gap in front with a bulge on the side and the light bulb went off that this must have been bang I heard on the highway.
In the wheel well we see the front clips have a few min shaved off and to creased where the plastic folded are visible creating an outward bulge.
Sent pictures to a local body shop and they quoted between $1800 to 3000$, I think they had have estimated the replacement of the entre front bumper and a paint job. Not going to spend that kind of money for something this minor.
I removed the bumper and no damage to the head pump that's just in that area :
I could not resist washing off the exposed area and blow drying afterwards.
My question, - any tips for getting the bumper back in shape the creases out from the side ?
For the missing tabs I going to try and extend them with epoxy made for car bumpers.
Not really concerned about the front bottom damage as this car is very low. The front bumper is away prone to scrapping stuff and acting as a plow in winter.
Picture of the undamaged taps on the driver side, not much is missing on the left.
