Presumably you have the insurance details of the other party, if you contact them directly (and the chap that hit you has told them the truth), they are likely to bend over backwards to collect and fix your car and provide you with a courtesy car.

The bumper is just trim, there's a wacking big metal bar behind it that would take a fair old bump to damage. So unless it was a substantial clout, your car is probably ok. It might have been easier to just change the bumper or repair it but Honda parts are expensive, that plus fitting may well write it off. So if they do, you can buy it back as a cat d or whatever and find a bumper on eBay for about £100 quid, get it sorted and carry on regardless.

Thanks for everyone for taking the time out to reply..

Just received a phone call from the authorised garage asking me to bring it in when I get time ( they are only 10 mins away) .

Will try attempt to repair the bumper or just replace it, concerned they might repair it and then. I've got the issue of explaining if I ever come to sell.

Taking it in tommorow morning and will update once I know more.

Thanks again
