    It looks like someone came after you with a jimmy bar mate,only if the damage was on the bumper instead.Could cost a few $$

    was with mum in a carpark but she reversed quickly and hit the corner of a pole which pushed that part back a inch or so

    I'd smooth that bit off then use fibreglass to re-replicate the shape, an sand & paint it... Only you would know, An you could do it yourself for under $100,

    new bar is maybe $300, paint it $500, repair and paint rear 1/4 $500. $1300 all up, car off road maybe 3 days or so. dunno if the brackets and reinforcements would be intact, though...

    Paint matching will be the problem, not the fix... but would say closer to ~2K

    +1 that - depends on condition of paint. however, I have had a white pearl matched ok from an outlet that was in all other aspects sub-par. Ring the local car dealers and ask who they use. A good place will blend it all in.

    i'm with Hozy on this one, its an older car, you can pick up a fairly good VS for 2-3k why spend 1k or more repairing one minor imperfection when you could do a simpler repair mostly yourself and almost no one will ever know.
