Default Front Lip Damage

So I was walking out to my car last night and noticed the right side of my front lip was bent out.

I am not sure what happened. I know it was fine Sunday night. I went to work and to the gym on Monday, thats it. Could this happen from a car backing into me? There are not any scratches around it or anything that looks like a car hit it. I don't remember hitting anything and if I would have curb checked that hard I would assume I would know.

There is a plastic looking bracket that looks cracked, but other than that it that is not any noticeable damage.

Anyone with thoughts or ideas on what happened or cost to fix it would be appreciated.

that looks like you park over the parking curb and when you reverse your car the front lip got stuck on the curb.

If there is no physical damage or any scratch..
Take it to the dealer and tell them know your lips need to be re-do.

I did the same thing the first week I had my car. Afterwards, I was at the dealer, and the sales guy told me the service folks can snap it back on, but they were not there that day. I tried to snap it back into place myself, but it needs a good amount of pressure, and I was afraid I'd make it worse. I'm 1000 off from my 5000 mi service, I'm just going to get it taken car of then
