Late for work this morning. Parking too fast. Reversed into a concrete pillar. Cracked the paint and dented the rear bumper. Is this fixable being plastic?
I am so anrgy at myself... :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

A body shop could probably repair the crack for you but it may be a problem later as the crack may re-appear if you lean on the bumper putting stuff in the boot as the rigidity of the plastic will not be as strong!
Bummer though - been close to doing that a few times myself!

Bad news! Have a look on Ebay - there are often standard mini one / cooper bumpers for sale there very cheap prices that have been removed to fit sport / body kit bumpers.

Now that I've calmed down, it doesn't look as bad as I thought. When I first saw it I kicked a wall, swore and stormed into the office! Eastern reckoned its fixable by the description I gave, so fingers crossed! I've scuffed a wee bit of the chrome strip but reckon I can live with that.
Just need to park slower the next time!
