Do not rush to buy a new bumper and do not waste money on Chinese substitutes, which will never be exactly the same as the gaps, because the original plastic is perfectly amenable to restoration! Modern technologies allow you to weld a crack at the molecular level using a professional extruder and plastic rods of identical composition, thanks to which the strength of the part at the fracture site becomes even higher than it was from the factory. To understand in detail the methods of thermal welding of plastics, restoring torn fasteners and final alignment of the texture of body elements, I recommend taking a look at the page <a href="https://autobodylab.com/services/bumper-repair/">https://autobodylab.com/services/bumper-repair/</a>, where the entire process of returning the geometry to damaged parts without unnecessary expenses is professionally described. I myself recently picked up my crossover after a similar winter incident: the guys not only welded a long crack, but also completely restored the side mount under the headlight that had been torn out with meat. After local painting of the junction, the bumper looks like brand new, the gaps are perfect, and there is not a single hint of previous repairs on the body. The main thing is not to try to glue it with ordinary superglue or epoxy, because the vibration on the first road bump will make everything fall apart again, it is better to give the part to the masters, and in a day or two you will be driving with a perfect car and a great mood!
