Default bumper repair/mishaped where to get fixed?

ive got a problem atm, want to fit a splitter but this bumper is slightly mishaped, i wouldnt imagine this is something i could do myself without messing up, so by any chance does anyone know of someone that can fix this for me? i would just go out and buy another mint bumper but it seems they don't exist and every seller lies, had 3 so far and this is the best out of them



any help appreciated

cheers nick

needs heat and something to brace it while it cools

i expect any body whop would pop it in the oven while they bake a car to see if it fixes itself, maybe you could knock up something out of 2x4 which could hold it where it should be in the heating process til it cools and stays
i doubt anyong would take it on as a job, it cant be filled out so just needs manipulating or something behind to push it out to get the deired look, behind would be factory tho

semi flexible steel flat bar fg'd on?

make a mould of the other side
use some clamps to make it supportable
fit it to the bent side
use a heat gun to heat up the plastic, but not too close or else it'll melt
fit the mould over the top
tighten it up slowly but not too tight
let it cools down natuarlly
see how much it's moved
repeat until fixed

i did this to a cav gsi bumper that had hit a lampost and bent in half when i fitted it to my 3 door and it came up a treat
