Video tutorial

Unfortunately, it can happen that you bump the bumper, causing a dent. We know that these parts of our Toyota Yaris are made of plastic, so with a bit of creativity and skill, we can carry out a small repair to avoid driving around with a damaged car. You only need a hairdryer, or if you want to do a better job, you can get a tool that will also be useful in other situations, including in the kitchen (for which it was originally designed).

This is a kitchen blowtorch (you can find it on Amazon, for example, for £17.99 including delivery), with which, with a bit of care and by following the instructions in the video, you will be able to reshape the bumper back to its original form.
