Rear end knock - bumper damage question.
Hi,
I hope someone is able to help me - it appears a rather dumb question but I might as well ask rather than make a mess of things.
Yesterday I had a little 'accident' in my x5. I was reversing with the side mirror dipped to see the road for parking - I completely forgot to see the rear view mirror and hit a parked car (as I reversed at fair speed, the sensors did not pick up the car quickly enough). Fortunetly, there is only a very faint scratch on my rear bumper. However, the plastic section in between the 2 exhausts in the rear bumper (I think it can be removed to install a tow bar - or hitch bar) fell off.
Can this easily be slipped into place or once removed do I need a completley new rear bumper?
Below is a pic showing the piece that has fallen off - used from another members car (hope he/she dont mind)- very similar to mine:
