Unhappy Rear bumper trauma- used section for sale?/is this repairable?

This happened after I'd dodged spinning TVR's all night on a wet track session - I got home and my tired clutch leg meant that I did THIS against my garage wall. ..a bit like making the double black run and then breaking your wrist falling over in the lift queue..

The impact system worked - I heard it pop back into shape when I moved off the wall - but the damage is still nasty. The pic shows (hopefully) grooves carved into the plastic. My question is - can this be filled/repaired by my bodyshop, or is it new section time?

My middle section is a bit dinged, too: I don't suppose anyone has stock used rear bumper/fender sections for sale.??

It looks cracked in the picture, but those lines are just scores in the plastic.

Of course that is repairable. There is a special filler designed for fixing flexible panels. Any competant body shop can fix it up like new. I have even saved torn parts.

Like JC says there is no need to buy a new part for your bumper. Mine had a few cracks in which were easily repaired by a competent bodyshop.

Cheers

No problem,
Any bodyshop can do it nicely. It will look new again after the repair.
Costs about 200 $ I think.
