by the looks of things its just the mounting point on the back of the bumper with has cracked, just take bumper off and fiberglass patch it , of maybe use some meshing to make it stronger
easy fixed wouldent even have to paint the bumper

Yeah u can fix that easy m8. Might want it repainting tho to get rid of the scratch, if u do ask a bodyshop, they'll prob repair it free whilst paintin it.

take bumper off, put some fibreglass resin between bumper and broken bit and stick it on.
Then put a couple of layers of fibreglass mat on the inside of the bumper to firm it up. Smooth out the crack (if there is one with top stop) and respray over it.
