Front bumper issue

Front bumper issue
so I was driving my Audi lately and it seems I parked too closely to one of those concrete line things(sorry don't no a better word for it) in store parking lots. With my front being lowered and backing out of the spot the concrete thing ripped my front bumper off. I went to go try and clip them back in and the keep falling off again. I've been taking a close look at the bumper and it seems that all of the lower plastic bumper clips have been warped or snapped off. He question is do I have to get a new bumper or is there a way to fix this. Really ugly lookin at the bumper half falling off 😭

It's not your bumper, it's your lower valence, right?
If so, I've had mine ripped off by parking stoppers more than once. The valence has wide clips that slide into slots on the front of the bumper cover and screws on the fender well - attaching it to the bumper itself.
You should also have a bolt underneath (on the belly pan).
What I did, was slide the valence back into place and use zip ties on the fender wells and underneath (in the middle of the belly pan).
That should do it for you.
Let me know if I can help further.

Those images don't do anything for me, but I'm certain we're talking about the same thing. If the clips are warped, try (carefully) forming them with a razor blade.
When you look at it, you should be able to notice the clips on the valence and the notches/openings for them in the bumper cover. Take note of the screws in the fender wells and the bellypan.
