Is this a smart repair?

Good work!
Maybe some of those that said it couldn't be done Smart will now be eating their words - especially if the OP keeps the car, manages not to damage that corner again and puts up another pic of it still looking just as good in a few years time.
One of the reasons a smart repair makes sense on that car is that it is my work car. Also the NSF corner is the one most likely to get a rub in the future. Yes, £240 is not pocket change but a new bumper fully re-sprayed would be how much? For someone then to ding it again in a few months,Maybe some of those that said it couldn't be done Smart will now be eating their words - especially if the OP keeps the car, manages not to damage that corner again and puts up another pic of it still looking just as good in a few years time.
I must say that the quality of the work is no worse than I've seen from my local main dealer's body shop, who have had the benefit of proper facilities.
I am very pleased with the outcome.

The protruding plastic and shape of damage may make a smart repair difficult.

Nonsense! It would only be difficult if you didn't know what you were doing. Any experienced tech would do a job like that before breakfast. .
Now im not going to list the repair process for something like this as its not in the interest of the readers (also I get in trouble with those in the know as to what and to who I divulge)
Price for a job like this, I would charge around £220-250 and would need the car for a morning or afternoon.

Glad to see its saved you a shed load of money compared to the alternative of having to source a half decent bumper and getting it perhaps repaired and re painted.

We live in fortunate times that a lot of car-related woes can now be resolved swiftly, cheaply and at home.
