Cut a bit of plastic to fit just over the area and fibreglass or plastic weld it on , then drill and fit a clip to it ?

on my new bumper i had to make new mounts either side, i used 20guage sheet steel and riveted it onto the bumper (counter sink the rivets), filled the holes and drilled a hole in the steel where the hole for the bracket should be, then reinforced the whole lot with fibreglass

if its very well keyed - cut some deep grooves and use a matt not P40

yeah - just buy a small kit - P40 doesnt usually bond well

key the surface and wet out the matt with resin befor you put it on - just to make sure theres enoughon there - roller it to consolidate it and bobs your mother's brother
