DAMN! Ripped my front bumper cover, best way to repair it?

I have a '06 E55 with a E63 style front bumper cover on it. I pulled into a parking spot and didn't notice that someone had placed an old wood pallet in the front of the spot. When I pulled in I heard a noise, and backed up. Too late - the bottom of the bumper cover under the intercooler opening had caught on the pallet and ripped clean through when I backed up.

I bought the car with this bumper on it, so I don't know what brand/type it is. I would VERY much prefer to just repair it rather than replace.

Any ideas? Is it tough to remove it to fix it?

Thanks!

Depends how bad it is. I fixed one by screwing in a home made metal bracket behind the crack. Counter sinking the screws in front. Filled in screws and crack line with JB weld and used touch up paint.
