So parked up this afternoon and had the nose over a curb, and when I backed out a bolt sticking out of the concrete caught and pulled the bumper. but rather than just tearing at the bolt points it torn. Has any one else had this happen? looks like bog in the area so might have been an old scar I've opened up.

Looks like a bad job when the car was repaired ... do you know if it has been re-painted ?. But look , on the positive side it very easy to replace the bumper 4 screws on both sides and some inside the engine bay right under the grille . Sorry to see that man ... Sad

mine had a small tear just like that, really annoying, mine too was badly repaired at some point, but mines hardly noticeable so it doesnt bother me, but as stated, bumpers are easy to remove, and fix!
