    The princess drove over a bear cub, ouch! It literally rolled over behind the vehicle and ran off into the forest, poor cub.

    If that one broken piece is the extent, you could do a semi-seamless DIY. Typical “bumper” repair kits have heavy-duty 2-part epoxy, prep solvent, super glue (for initial tacking), and Fiberglas mesh reinforcement.

    Remove bumper, deburr edges, clean, position and tack, then mix the 2-part, apply, press in Fiberglas and maybe a bit more 2-part over. Then bondo the seam on outside, prime and spray.

    That is barring decent insurance.

    Black piece broken, silver grill broken, bottom metal support pushed up, under plastic cover bent/broken clips and bottom AC condenser pushed in & up(still working as far as I know). Insurance is taking care of it to my satisfaction so they say. Probably have to wait for parts to arrive.......
