Angry Front Bumper Issues

I'm stumped and cant find out what this part is called or where to buy it. The stupid body shop I took my car to didnt replace this and the bumper fascia keeps coming off the clips after some hard cornering. I took a closer look and noticed from my accident that the closest clip towards the wheel had been destroyed. This explains why it would not stay put. The shop did not even bother to replace this piece so the bumper would fit normally. I'm having trouble determining what the name of this part so I can order a new one. I do not want to deal wit this shop and it seems like an easy replace. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks ahead of time.

Is it any of these? Perhaps #5?

Im currently at work right now but basically in that yFrog image, the plastic clip that the bumper slips on to, closest to the wheel, is completely destroyed. Therefore the side of the bumper pops out easily after some aggressive driving. The shop should have replaced that white plastic piece containing the clips for the bumper, but they did not. Im trying to find out what this part is called so I can order a new one and replace it myself. I do not want to deal with this shop again.

This picture should help you understand

The part circled in red is completely missing on my car due to the damage, thus my reason for wanting to replace the piece....if i could find out what to order...

Pretty much every G I have ever noticed has a poor fitting front bumper on one side or the other where it lines up with the fender, accident or not.

Yes, it looks from the photo like part #5 is what you need.

Careful though. If I recall correctly, that part is actually riveted onto the steel, in addition to the bolts you see.

i'm guessing it's either number 13 or 6. our bumper has 2 of them. one goes onto the bumper being held on by 1 10mm and the metal bracket. the other one is on the fender. if i remember it might be called the Stiffener. you should call your local dealer to confirm.
