Hi guys, i recently got a 1.2 16v corsa b, and the guy before me reversed into a bollard in a car park.

The bumper was pushed in, in the middle and the shell slightly pushed in, but the boot still shuts and opens as if nothings happened.

Iv changed the rear bumper and you cant even tell it was hit, but when i open the boot i can still see the shell bit that was pushed in, just wondering if it can be pushed out?

Heres a few pictures of the damage













Does anyone on here know anyone who might be able to help me?

I only meant if you were to get it repaired on your insurance (obviously you wouldnt) it will be classed as a write off.

Take all the plastics off to see if theres any major damage then get whacking that hammer.

Ohright, well the guy before me smacked it so would i be able to get it done on my insurance?

Like you say mate (and everyone else it seems,lol) i think a hammer is the best bet. Car isnt worth alot really so may aswell have a go
