am a mod.
cant say i didnt try. but i would look for a bumper, then just find somone with a gun and buy the paint. least thats what id do. and then spray it.
maybe buy some plastic repair glue - weldon might do it for you, but thats one hell of a snap in that panel to repair.

Weld-On #4707 Pint (1707) / ABS-Low VOC
you may be able to get it elsewhere, but that stuff will chemically bond ABS together in minutes. it disolves the molecules, lets them meld together, then it evaporates and they molecules recombine and harden into plastic again.
i would also sand down around those areas that were borken, see if you can find some scrap ABS and use that weld stuff to put in on right there, then sand it smooth?
that would "fill" it with ABS and then you just gotta paint it.

dude, that is nothing. bondo and touch up. that shit is so easy to fix.
thats a fiberglass bumper right. i would sand the area around it and use some body filler and sand that down. wetsand primer sand again and then sand a few more times for good measure then repaint and clear coat. then buff it out. but just to let you know youll see a difference in the color of the paints even if you get the exact paint code of your car.
if its plastic..............................sand/bevel gashes on both sides/4040 duramix/sand/prime/paint/clear..........thats the only CORRECT way to do it.
heres a fact many dont know....
there are 2 types of ABS plastic. one if u shave a piece off will float in water, the other wont. the one that DOES float in water CANNOT be ground down with a highspeed grinder, it will just melt. the other can. the kind that CAN be is in more cases than not....a yellow color.

body filler, then try like hell to find the same paint to repaint, its hartd to get body filler to the perfect shape of theat though, looks like its on a curve, probably going to take lots of sanding... thats why body shop guys get paid what they do...
DONT USE BODY FILLER IF IT IS ABS PLASTIC IT WILL NOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTT STICK!!!!!
4040duramix, sand down with 80, then 220 to shape exactly how u want, then 400, the 800 surrounding area then 1000 a good portion out and spray it and clear it. match will be perfect if you find a good painter.
