I hit a lamppost during reversing. There is no damage to the bumper but it has moved.
Can anybody recommend a repairer in the Glasgow/lanarkshire area?

When you say 'moved', how has it moved? The bumper is mounted on two 'shock absorbers' so can 'spring' a bit.

It’s not flush with the body and it has moved the opposite out a bit
 
Depending on which version of Z3 you have , You may have broken a couple of the ifixings and it just needs to be taken off irealigning, and replacing a few plastic bits
 
I was thinking about this and remembered that I sorted a rear bumper that was push out of alignment.

Part number 6 is a plastic bracket that holds the bumper…. item 7 are nylon/plastic nuts … when a bumper get hit these are sacrificial and normal break so you may find that the bumper has broken these and needs to be realigned on to the studs (6) and buy some new nuts (7)

If you do need part 6 I have them for either side.

They slide into a bracket on the bumper itself which may have been damaged
