D’OH! I hate when stuff like that happens to anyone. Hope you can find a color-matched bumper cover for it. That would look better than lacing it up with ty-wraps… well, look better to the adults, anyway. ---

Maybe you could get you’re shop’s insurance etc pay for it. After all, you know the owner. Knowing the owner will also tell you whether you want to ask. ---

Yeah, that’s a bummer. I had something like that happen with my first car, 62 Ford Galaxy. chrome bumper so car was ok, but garage door trim took a bit of a beating. In your case, on the positive: There’s no rust on the functional bumper 🙂
