Default Front bumper

Someone back into my front bumper , I am very skilled mechanically, but when it comes to body work I go to the body shop. Anyway no visible damage to the bumper, but on the driver side it has been pushed back enough that the trim is rubbing the tire. As I believe this is something I can do myself, can someone point me in the right direction.thanx in advance

Easiest way I know is to hook a chain to it and a tree and back up slowly to straighten it out

If the bumper has no visable damage, loosten the mounting bolts first. Then find a tree with a friend as a spotter

Thanks, I used rope instead of chain as to not scratch anything, it worked perfect. When it gets warmer I will take a little more time with it. The mounting bolts go through slotted hole and I could see that they moved during impact.
