Dent in plastic bumper - THe Growler
Anyone have any hints on how to take out a crease-type dent in a plastic bumper caused by reversing into a gatepost?

Not a color-coded bumper, but a grey hard plastic insert. The crease/dent is about 1/4" deep and the same across, being 2" long. The material is hard-ish but looks some form of internal pressure allied to maybe some heat might enable it to be pushed out. The plastic per se is not damaged.

not quite true HJ... they just don't seem to export them
See this link... my sister has driven one of these Saturn SL2 cars in boston for 5 years and 100,000 miles without any dents,,, you can hit their bodies all over with bats and rocks etc with no dents and fix any bad dents with a hair drier

and the engines look like painted stirofoam due to the lost foam casting process used
