Default Just got reversed into!

As per the title, my beloved S2000 has just been reversed into. The old lady driving the offending car hadn't even realised, think she'd forgotten that when reversing its generally a good idea to look whats behind you.

Whilst I can't see any surface damage (the car is filthy mind), I wondered if any hidden damage was likely, and whether it was worthing getting it inspected? I've got her details so could probably go through insurance if needed.

Are there any common things to check? The alignment of the bumper looks ok, one light is ever so slightly less flush than the other in the corner.

Any advice welcome!

That's one of the few problems with the S2k, they are a bit too low for the old biddys to see, especially those that don't know how to use mirrors for anything other than putting make up on

You may find that when you clean the car there are some stress cracks on the bumper. The slam panel should have taken the brunt of any minor impact and may be slightly dented. Chances are though if your slam panel is dented, your bumper will be damaged too.
