Hi All Last week my wife had a little mis-hap in a car park. She accidentally started the car in gear. She then panicked not depressing the clutch peddle and bumped into the parked car in front. On inspection at the time, our car and the car she ran into had no visible damage or scratches at all and no more was thought about it. Anyway, after washing the car I then noticed that the side of the bumper panel (where it is attached to the wheel arch panel) had popped out on both sides and will not push back in. See the attached photo's. Can anyone help me sort this by myself or is it a garage job.

It may be that the bumper attachment brackets/keepers have broken - they are made of plastic. If so it is bumper off, new brackets and then re-attach.

Or it may be it’s just pushed the bumper off it’s tabs… Looks an easy fix to me 👍👍👍
