Default Front bumper cover hole

I have a hole about the size of an egg in my front bumper cover. The cover is in great shape other than that. Is this something that is repairable or will it need a new cover?

Thanks for all replies.

Everything you need is in this video plus a how to, just yours is a bit larger, same method applies.

Price everythgin out and then get a quote from a body shop to see which is cheaper.

To bad you can not buy one of the 4"X8" patchs. They seem to only come (MMM5888) in a box of 6 for 80 - 100 bucks.

Does anyone just sell just one 3m patch? The sandable flex filler is reasonable at about 30 bucks.

Thank you all for all your help!!!

if you happen to have any fiberglass mat use it as a backer. What works great is cutting out a piece from a junk cover and plastic welding it in....helps when you have the tools in the shop though!
