Hi feel sorry for your experience, I think our latios all got this problem, hope you didn't take it too harsh on your dad.
just to share my car largi jiat lat, tampinese mall, the kerb pull and somehow twisted my bumpers out until almost like 45 degress as I reversed the car when I park head in and heard a scratching sound, my heart sank literally, as I can see the bare metals of the bar and grills of the car, very much felt as if seeing the bone from the torn flesh.
But I realise the bumper snaps back on along the horizontal sections, as there are white color plastic clips ( not sure what u call those)
The only thing that broke was the retension clip along the sides, above the front wheel near the head lights area. Actually there is a bottom black plastic cover below the bumper that covers the portion from the front wheel well area to the bumper, the plastic holding got torn from the screw that was holding it, as a result, I cannot travel above 50Km as the ram air will blow the cover down and I will hear scratching sound
Initially I also heartache and feel demoralised, thought backside and pocket tear with expensive replacement.
Went to a workshop along changi North area, quoted me all in all 50 bucks for a retension clip that was original and labour to fix all the broken lower panels back
In the mean time just use some cable tie and such to try hold the bumper together as the wind drags will or might cause further damage, will try to source for the contact of the workshop and PM u.
