had a similar incident, cost £250 in local body shop - plastic welded the broken clips on the bumper and a respray. However as mentioned i'd let it go thru the insurance, it can turn in to a nightmare otherwise.0

Bumpers are often designed to fall off when impacted. This way the bumper takes the damage and the car itself is protected from any damage (by the bumper pulling the car to bits).0
