So on my way home from work this evening I had my first encounter with a front end accident. I was approaching a traffic light and the car infront of me stopped short due to the car infront of him and I didn't have enough distance to stop in time so I hit his back end with my front bumper (My fault traveling too close). Thankfully I was slowing down anyway but ended up hitting his trailer hitch to the left and to the bottom of my front license plate leaving a nice rectangular 1 inch in height x 2 inch width dent in the plastic bumper cover. It sounded much worse, but I inspected the front end and found zero damage aside from the dent. I don't know if the hit punctured the aluminium beam though. Nothing had popped, and car seems fine. I do with I had a picture of it. My questions are as follows: 1) I know the airbag system has some sensors near the front end so should I have the brick inspected? 2) Should I have the brick checked out for structural damage? Perhaps being overanxious but I'd say the impact was around 5 mph. My plan is to get a euro front plate and holder which will hopefully cover up some of the dent as the rest of the bumper is in perfect condition or unless I can score a cheap replacement.
Thanks as always,
Adam
