Many have done the same. If you go too close to a curb wheel stop, the lower bumper rides up and over the stop. When you back out, it catches and usually cracks it. You can duct tape it so it hold in place, but you have to replace the whole bumper cover to fix it. There is a DIY post on how to take off and replace but a new bumper will not come painted. You might find a local shop that will do bumper cover repairs and only have the lower painted (since it really does not show). You can probably get one from jjbumpers.com for around $500 delivered. It will come black primed.

I have an extra AMG bumper laying around in the garage. It was damaged, just like yours, however, it was reinforced and repaired....repaired so well that I didn't even know the bumper was ever damaged until I took it off 2 months ago, as I was doing my custom front bumper.
Anyways, it is painted black opal, comes with the 2 fogs, and the horizontal piece that you lost. It does have the 2 cut-outs for the headlight washers. The only thing the bumper does not come with are the impact strips (which you have.)
Make me an offer. I placed the bumper on craigslist for $400 plus shipping, just to give you a ballpark figure.
Either email me at Albert@sonicms.net or PM me.
thanks.
