Fender bender... any other potential damage other than cosmetic?

[The_Observer]

Hey all,

So I screwed up today and backed up into someone and got my rear bumper (at about the speed of no more than 5mph) with a bit of small dent and what it appears to be clearcoat scratches. Here's a few pics:

Besides the fact that it's a bit scratched and with a tiny dent, are there any other potential damages that might be happening? The sensors still appears to work as I reverse towards an object/cars, and everything else seems to be ok for the time being.

What do you guys think?

IIRC there’s a metal bar directly behind the main part of that scratch; it doesn’t look like the plastic even bent enough to crease, let alone bend the bar itself so I’d say it‘s purely cosmetic.

What we think is irrelevant. If everything appears to work, don’t worry about it. If you’re concerned about unseen damage, have the car checked out.
