Unhappy Broken Front Bumper

Hi there, I am new here and thought i'd ask for some advice from the community.

I drove up a steep driveway a tad too quick the the front panel scraped the floor. Consequently, it pushed the front panel so that now the side of the front panel, i.e. above/in front of the type is jutting out from the shape of the car. I can push it back it but it dosnt go in all the way. I believe the plastic ring that hooked it on is broken (as I have the piece in ym ashtray now).

What is the best way to fix the front panel and also the scratch underneath which has scraped off the paint.

Thanks a lot, apologies if these are very generic/newb questions.

A pic would help. But sounds like the the top corner of the bumper near the tire is poking out. You may have broken the clips that hold the bumper to the car, especially if you have a broken piece. Pull off the bumper, replace the clip, push the bumper back on. It lookis like #9/10 (spacer) is the problem.

As far as the scratch, probably just get some touch up paint from the dealership. If it is gouged, you may want to have it filled and painted.
