Dark blue prefacelift import WRX wagon.

This morning I was filtering in off a slip road and was looking over my shoulder, the guy in front didn't move off and I did - ****.

His car was fine so he waived it - on mine though there's a slight ripple/dent in the bumper and it's moved back slightly, a centimeter or so at a guess.
I've never had the bumper off before so don't really know how it's attached.
Question is what am I likely to have damaged? Do i need to replace the whole thing? What should I check for?
Also would I have to get a bumper off and import WRX to match or are they identical to UK models?

Cheers

 

if its not cracked the paint id be tempted to get a heat gun out and see if it will smooth/move back.

 

No I't not cracked the paint. Cheers I'll certainly try that!

 

i used to work in a bodyshop, depending on how fast you hit him is the worry,but to be honest subarus have a bumper support sat right behind the bumper which then is bolted to the chasis, by the sounds of it you have just damged your which is a very easy job, worse case is that youve damaged the bumper carrier which again is a easy fix, under the car there is 4 bolts to on each side on the chasis leg unbolt that and the whole bumper and carrier will come away, its very light metal and you can pick them up for around 35-40 quid second hand, but it does only sound like paint damaged or plastic,nothing major,the bumper can be repaired and painted on the car
hope this helps

 

Thanks for the advice mate. It was very low speed since I was setting off from stationary, had a bit of power on but not much - I think you're right the bumper support might be a bit deformed - I presume you remove the bumper to straighten them rather than pulling it into shape on the car?

 

yeh just unbolt the whole thing and the two parts come off the car its alot easier to do off the car,once removed there are just a few black pin clips holding the support on the bumper very easy,if it is not repairable theres loads on ebay going for 40ish quid
