unless you know someone who's REALLY good at plastic welding... you need a new bumper.

Here's a video to show you kinda how they do it. It's not for a 1st time DIYer

You'll never get it right, especially being black. You need a new bumper cover.

Make up a cool story about it until you can find another one. If the story is good enough, you might even want to leave it that way. :D

I use zip ties when I plastic weld. It's actually easy to do but for your case since you have a hole I would use just zip ties and weld them in then sand and paint

If you've never done it before, you will not be pleased with the results. Get a new cover.
