If you've had it on like that or jammed it on like that: maybe

The second time I took off my bumper it looked like that. I noticed, removed it again, and noticed the small tab had scratched the crash bar lightly and could see from the scratches that it had slid below its perch. Just make sure it is in the correct position as you push it on and hold it there as you pull up the lock-ins near the wheel well.

i rear ended somebody about a month ago and there is a little bit bigger space than that on my car... is there anyway a bodyshop could fix that or do i need a new bumper.
one other question when i got into this accident it also caused the hole to connect the bumper to the fender to rip on both sides, so is there anyway to fix that hole because its metal.
thanks.
