I think that quite a number of years ago I reversed into something or clipped something hard enough to bust a small plastic clip that retains the forward coming part of the rear bumper. I found the motivation to set about fixing this the other night. First off I got the bumper off, which I didn’t know how to do, so that was a minor challenge.

Bumper gone and plastic clips removed. I removed both so that I could make my new part match the other non broken one.

3 mm thick aluminium cut to fit inside of the broken bracket and shaped to match the bit that’s missing.

The new bit made up and shaped etc vs the non broken one.

Bracket in place on the car. Having got the bumper off I plan on painting the brackets etc that site behind the plastic part before refitting them.
