I'm not an expert on it, but I'd either plastic weld a sheet of plastic behind it, or get some metal mesh (thin) and then fiberglass within it (if that makes sense) - then obviously filler over the front until it's clear.

Cut up a coke can, flatten the metal out and stick it to the outside. from inside the bumper, fibreglass a few sheets over the hole, once dry remove the can metal and fill the remaining hole using flexible filler
