Damage to my front bumper/lip

[Jeff E36 37]

Hey everyone, so today I was walking back to my car after my uni exam, and I noticed that the lower part of my E36 bumper has been damaged. It's nothing too major I think, one foglight cover has been popped out, and the center of the lip has been split.

I'll post pics below in a second, but I was wondering if I could get some advice on how to fix this easily? It shouldn't be TOO difficult, however I am a bit newb when it comes to DIY work on cars, so any help would be appreciated

Replace it with an E36 Mtec bumper!

Hahah oh how I'd love to! But my poor student bank account may not agree with me at the moment =(

Plus, if I did get an M-tech kit (which I plan to in the future), I'd like to do all round (front, side and rear), as I have the grey sides, so if I only get one, or two parts, the car'd look ugly =(

Hmm yeah, I forget it is a $500++ spend, depending on where you get one second hand or go for a cheaper replica one.. I suppose the extra cost comes to get them painted and also get the right brackets/mounts etc.

If something is really broken on your current one and the stock clips wont work, I'd just drill some holes (where they aren't visible) and cable-tie it together for the meantime.

Pop it all back in and get some epoxy to fix the split...should do the trick.
