Fixing 4kq front bumper

[Jpinkowish at aol.com]

Hi folks,
I've been offered(for free) a perfect condition front bumper cover that is
separated from the metal bumper beam.  Unfortunately, a number of the
"squeeze tabs" that normally hold the front of the cover to the bumper beam
are broken.

Is this thing useless, or can I securely reattach it?

Options that come to mind:
1)  Bolt it by drilling holes where the license plate bracket might normally
go, and then cap the bolts
2)  Use some sort of adhesive.
3)  Forget the whole idea

Because the bumper is NOT drilled for a license plate, I'd love to just
"glue" it.  However, the requirements for an acceptable adhesive prolly
include:
--ability to fill large gaps or voids;
--flexiblity over a large temp range(-20 deg F to 100 deg F);
--bonding to EPDM(ethylene propylene diene monomer) the bumper material;
--bonding to aluminum(that is the metal of the bumper beam, yes?);
--low cost, prolly because I'll have to use a fair bit.

Any suggestions or BTDTs?  Time for the chemists to chime in.

Look forward to your list replies.
