Because I was working on her X5 she had to drive my car to take the kids to birthday parties, etc. She parked at one of those stupid parking stalls with the concrete blocks with the reebar sticking out of it. Needless to say once she tried to back out the bar grabbed the M-tech bumper and pulled on it until one side came out. The tabs on the bumper itself are broken, as well as part of the black holder that you can see in the pics. Even with the broken parts I have managed to put it together so that it's 95% unnoticable. I will get a new bumper support/holder, but I have to repair the damage on the bumper as I am not going to get a new bumper. As I mentioned as it is now (even with the broken parts) I have managed to get it back to almost 100% normal, so hopefully the support/holder would help even more. Here are some pics.:

Please posts some pictures after you've done the repair.
