Default Cracked Bumper


I hit some debris on the interstate. It hit the front left of my bumper and only left scuff marks. But I guess the impact caused this part to crack. Is this repairable? Thanks in advance

That’s going to need a new bumper and respray. Just contact your insurance.

Thank you for the advice. I will have to pay out of pocket though as my deductible is high

Don’t know how well they work, but go to Amazon and search for ‘plastic welder’. There are kits that claim to be used for bumper repair, by melting some support wire into the bumper to hold the pieces together. (Clip off the wire ends, sand and paint.)
