2006 S60 front bumper

So, we happened to back over a bump that ripped the front bumper off on the passenger side. Looks like the clip ripped when it happened. Is there a fix for this other then having to replace the entire front bumper cover? I tried to attach a couple pics to show the damage. This is my first post, so any help would be greatly appreciated...thanks!

Not really unless you can fab something up and epoxy it on

That was the answer I was unfortunately expecting.

There is plastic bumper support right behind it, you can drill a hole through the bumper and the support and bolt it. You can also paint the bolt if you want to make it look better. You will need to put the car on ramp I guess to access to the back of the support to hold the nut. The new bumper runs around 700 bucks or around 300 bucks if you find a used one, I don't think it is neccesary to spend this much money for this damage.

Here is a bolt I suggest.

I don't see anything bad with it. You may have plastic plate broken, which is riveted to the wheel's arch plastic protection and bolted to the chassis, that thing is what usually brakes in such accidents. You can replace it. Bumper is held in place using rails on the plate and another retention plate in the front of wheel arc, which drives out with the screw and pulls the bumper's ends backwards.
