Evening all. welcome some advice, maybe somebody has been through similar pain in the past (unfortunately).
Managed to reverse at slow speed into my own fence post this evening. Only about 4mph but the car now has battle scars.
Car 0, Post 1.
I have no idea if this is repairable or if its a new bumper job. Obviously if a new bumper I will go through insurance and swallow the excess but if its repairable I may avoid any insurance related discussions!
If anyone is in the Chichester, West Sussex area - any recommendations on who might be able to assess and/or do a good job?
Being plastic I wasnt sure if it can be 'moulded back' or whether its never going to sit right and I just need to suck it up and replace.
There is white plastic showing through where the bumper Split/cracked, and then there is an area about 3 inches long below it which has distorted.
Its obviously shifted a bit as well, the panel alignment with the rear quarter panel is now out (bumper protruding a couple of mm).
I've tried to show in pics.
Embarrassed the car is so dirty!

Grateful for any guidance.
Rear Bumper - Repair or Replace?
You need to get a smart repair man to take a look, where are you, you might get some recommendations....

It's a shame, it looks like the paints been affected, if it was just a plastic dent, you could try boiling hot water on the bumper, this expands and contracts the plastic and usually goes back to original shape
Hi there fellow Chichester area Macan driver!!
I would also go smart repairer and, whilst I don’t have one to recommend, suspect the detailer I use would be able to guide you to one that he knows.
Wax is Dead detailing/ceramic coating over at Oving, I’d give him a call and ask, he’s high end so suspect any recommendation he has would be decent.
Ps - if you find one that’s good, do let me know!
