What caused this?
Hi folks .... any ideas what would cause this deformity on the lower bumper/rear diffuser (is that correct word?). Ive not noticed it before today. There doesnt seem to be any impact evidence as far as i can tell.
Also is it something easy to repair?

Re: What caused this?
I suspect that qwakers got it first time, looks like a tow-ball cover impression to me.
