Messed up my bumper - is this repairable? Or does it need to be replaced

Stupid me. I parked behind a gas station in a grassy area. Little did I know the spot I parked in had that little concrete stopper thing in front of the spot. Drove forward and completely ripped the front lip off.

Problem is I can't tell if ordering the front lip will be enough, or if I really messed it up and need a new bumper.

Pics included!

Did u keep the trim?
when I first bought mine, it was hanging off. There are 2 plastic tabs, 1 on each side, that the lower lip screws into. My pax side broke off, but I was able to super glue it back and use it. Those clips are part of the radiator support, so if u cant make it work, u will need to remove rad and a bunch more work.
GL,
Troy
