Slight crease appeared when the nose of my beloved had a close encounter with some scaffold.

What to do?

Can I push it out from behind and if so is accessing the underside of the bumper easy enough?

I could just try…

Putting this out there in case anyone has experience

Loathed to go body shop unless anyone has any recommends in NW south Mcr

Car is wrapped and I’d rather not get into silly quotes for new bumper paint Re wrap etc

Any ideas appreciated

Do you have access to a heat gun? Applying some gentle heat can work wonders at encouraging the plastic back into position. I was skeptical too - but try it, I was amazed it worked!

Could be arranged
However would I not need to remove the number and manipulate from behind as it were

No, as long as its not structurally damaged, it should pop back in to its original shape/form. Don't go too mad with heat though - the wrap won't thank you. Best of luck.

Try hot water /kettle first,as said it has a memory if you do it quickly enough.

It's not too difficult to the the PU bumpers of Porsches, but as others say, a bit of gentle heat may suffice. It definitely looks fixable anyway.
