eh? back in the 40's, xx's did cars, planes, electronics, ships, crypto... has something happened to debilitate one half of the population all of a sudden? how come only xy's "know the ins and outs"???
nobody here will do it for you. if you want do it yourself, it you might want to address that slight perception disability you seem to have first.
then, you have a couple of options:
- being plastic, it may simply pop out if you press from the inside.
- see if you can find the parts in a junk yard and simply replace them.
- sign up for some evening classes on basic body repair. doing a professional job takes time and money for specialized equipment, so #1 or #2 are probably the cheapest fastest routes.
Believe it or not, many bumper cover dents pop out when heated with a hair dryer. More stubborn dents (again assuming they are just in the plastic cover) can be popped out with a "Pops-a-dent" (available at many auto parts stores) with heat from a hair dryer. When heating it isn't the temperature that is important so much as giving the heat time to soak in, at least three minutes or so. Keep the hair dryer moving to heat the general area rather than making a small hot spot.

And if you're lucky, some dents can just be pushed out by hand from behind the skin.
