Possibly a body shop could do a repair of the plastic with epoxy.

I drove over a parking bumper/stop made of concrete...rebar was sticking up. When I backed up to leave, the rebar caught the underside edge of bumper and ripped it open.

Most likely a common occurrence on these cars, as they have just 4.9 inches of ground clearance...and very difficult to tell, from the driver's seat, just exactly where the front of the car is...when pulling up to a parking bumper. Wish these cars had a camera at the front of the car.

Attached pic of a similar parking lot bumper...

Ouch that looks painful. One of the reasons why I always park tail in. You never know whats below your bumper
