Default front bumper damage

Hello friends,

I ran in to a parking cement stall or what ever that #@&* crap is called. The cement crap had two very tall rebars that caught my bottom bumper causing some damage and bent the plastic inward.
I want to repair the damage by bending the bumper back to its original shape. I was going to heat up the plastic and try to bend it back or just whack the damage back into place.
If you have some experience in repairing this kind of damage, please let me know.
George

My budget is not allowing me to do it at this moment. I was thinking of blowing hot air from the back to see if could bend?

I hear you man I went to M1 in El Monte today. I wanted to see the v2 and v3 nismo bumpers. The total bill painted is 6 bills.
