Reversed into one of those stupid green cable boxes yesterday and have left a slight dent in my rear bumper and diffuser 
.
Damage not to bad but I can't leave her that way.
Anyone know where I can buy a new rear bumper and diffuser (ready painted if possible) without paying BMW prices?
Thanks

I'll take some pics tonight for you to see and maybe advise as to whether it can be fixed.
All I know is that I was devasted that I hurt my baby...

Ok as promised, some pics of the damage.
May not look like much but it hurts deep inside everytime I look at it...
Here's the damage overall:
Here's the damage on the top of the bumper (near where the boot / Trunk lid closes)
And here's the damage on the lower part
What do you guys think?

most of that can be molded back out with a heat gun, but the crease wil never be perfect without a new bumper.
Won't that damage the paint work?
