Advice Needed

I had a car reverse back into my car. The only visible damage is my licence plate mount and the plate. I did a quick check on my lights and any gaps. The lights all work ad no gaps found.

Is there anything that I should check to make sure that I don't miss anything? The other person car is all smashed in. ( fyi , my car was parked)

Your advice is greatly appreciated.

I would take the bumper off to make sure nothing is damaged. You bumper reinforcement/rebar probably absorbed the impact.

Hi, this might help. It's the chapter on bumpers from the Bentley 3 Series Manual.
