It’s just possible with the application of some heat (very hot water best) and the bumper off the car the pushed in dent will mostly pop out, looks like it’ll have a stress crease at the top but a little filler will do that job, as for the door......at least a new skin (if available). Regards

Bumper will push out easy using a heat gun on the back of it |

You don't need to take the bumper off to pop out that damage, the cavity behind is big enough (once you've removed the rear light) to be able to get a gloved hand down and push from the back while using a heat gun, or maybe a hair dryer on it's hottest setting.

Will give that a try. Never thought one could pop a plastic panel back out. I am surprised it has not cracked somewhere. |

Have a look on EBay you will pick a 2nd hand one up for under £100 |

You guys are good. Applied heat, from a heat gun, gently persuaded it back into its original position. Apart from scratches looks fine. Bit of sanding and paint will be nearly as good as new.
