No, it's impossible to say from the pictures. The vehicle really needs to be looked at in person and you have to look behind the bumper and see what is or isn't broken or bent.

I had similar damage to the front corner of my old Outback and I was shocked it cost a little over $2500 to repair.

I'd say a nice pistol or rifle, or maybe that nice optic you've been looking at... Big Grin

Thats how it worked for me a few years back. Wife backed into a fire hydrant. It cost her a P220.


I like the way you think! Big Grin



Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice - pull down your pants and slide on the ice.

That area is mostly just snap clips, it may require some massaging and a couple of stiff whacks with the heel of your hand, but if the clips aren't broken it may go back in place for the low price of Free.99.
If you are at all mechanically inclined, I second trying this.

If you take it to a body shop, expect them to say it needs new parts and some repainting to the tune of $2,000.



... stirred anti-clockwise.

I've also seen people heat up the plastic bumper parts with a hairdryer to make it a tad bit softer and more malleable. I agree with perhaps trying to see if you can massage the bumper back into shape and/or getting a few of those trim clips from your local dealership in case any of them have been broken from the bump.

At the high end body shop across the street, Vinnie would stuff another cannoli into his mouth, wipe the powdered crumbs onto his shirt, and waddle out to your car. He'd lean into the valence while pulling up, pop it back, and say, "That's free. If you want it better, it'll be a few hundred bucks. If it has to be perfect, well ... maybe $800."

yup. My first thought 100

My second thought was wash your car and take better photos if you want a more accurate opinion.
