Too right! At least the shells are. Sadly the same can't usually be said for the energy absorbing foam behind them. A new bumper alone could be expensive, even without any structural damage.
OP - even if you can't see any obvious damage, and assuming you are not a bodywork expert yourself, I'd pop the car along to a body shop to get their expert opinion."Now to trolling as a concept. ....

You don't need to drill holes in the plate to mount it. Just ask for adhesive mounting pads and stick it on.

I wouldn't. It's going to be scrapped in the next couple of weeks. If it still drives Ok I would live with it.
Some idiot ran into the back of my Peugeot (at 2mph in a line of traffic) about a week before it went for scrappage. I checked that the towbar wasn't affected (we were on holiday) and that the tailgate still opened and closed and left it that.0 -
