Red face Pranged!

Hi all.

Reversed into a wall yesterday! (Feel like a wally).

Damage done (see pic):
  • Cracked outer light (right side)
  • Scratched bumper, especially the grey plastic trim/moulding
  • Bumper is bent out of shape and come away from the body near the wheel arch (see photos).
  • Small dent and scratches on body (between light and bumper)

It doesn't look too bad, but is the sort of thing that will cost hundreds to get sorted properly, but probably not that difficult to do myself.
  1. Is it worth looking for non-genuine/aftermarket lights? If so, where? Or is is easier simply to go to ebay/breakers yard and pick up a second-hand one?
  2. How easy is it remove the grey plastic bumper trim/moulding on phase 2 V40? (And are the S40 and V40 rear bumpers identical?)

Thanks.
