Create rope from 3-4 cylinders and twist modifier. Create spline around bumper where rope should be, add PathDeform modifier on top of the rope, select spline as path. Play with the settings until you get desirable look.

Use tyflow...its great for things like rope. There's a free version too........also you can edit the rope on the fly!

i take look at tyflow i dont think the rope geometry can be exported as an obj , used as crossplatform format

yeah you can.....add a mesh operator to your flow and uncheck render only then collapse the tyflow node into editable poly and whatever is in your sim(rope in this case) will be geometry! Load of tutorials on the youtube you can search out for rope and such like! Give it a whirl.....its much easier than the Pathdeformer in my opinion!
