Prang!

Well that’s annoying and entirely my own fault. Not paying attention! Has anyone had any success with second hand bumpers from eBay? I’m thinking bumper and light cluster!

Oops! Bollard jump out on you?
No panel damage other than the bumper? You might get lucky and get one in the right colour which won't need painting. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

The dent will come out of the bumper with hot water poured over it and pushed from behind. It'll barely be noticeable. Just get it repainted afterwards.
Take out the light cluster and there's a big space there below it to get inside the bumper and push.
Don't ask me how I know - but I might have had a very near identical bump with my last FL except on the o/side.

Sadly it’s split the bumper so won’t push out! Aye the local body shop is on finding a bumper

Just done the same thing in a carpark, a drainpipe hid behind the d post and out of view of the camera, but glad to say my damage will touch up with paint and polish out.

The other thing to check is the real bumper , a steel section behind the plastic , it looks like you might have missed it , but if you clipped it it will be distorted . 2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership

I recently did the same but on the front nearside corner. Bumper and wing replacement needed.

I bought them from PowerfulUK and fitted them on the driveway. Took a day. Used it as an excuse to update it to the 2010 front end at the same time.

ChipsAway then came out and painted it up on the driveway, painting just the bumper was £220 plus VAT. The result is superb, perfect really, and he managed to colour match it spot on. Can't fault it and less than half the price of the paint shop.

Finished it on Wednesday...

Delighted with it. Fit perfectly and came well packaged and on time.

I'll have a video of me fitting it and having it painted uploaded to YouTube in a couple of days, hopefully Monday night. Subscribe here and you'll get an update as soon as its up: https://youtube.com/channel/UCO_u_0D45x9KGfiNstzLJnw
