Damaged Under Front Bumper. Went over small concret peg

Hello,
So last night I went to the store, and parked at a lot. appeared there was none of those cement parking bumper things but was wrong. A small piece of one was remaining and I drove over it. I don't really remember noticing it when I did, but when I backed out to leave I was surprised to feel and hear a snap. I'd driven over the small remaining cement piece and a section(all under the car) had the front bumper cover pulled from the frame and broke off (will post pics). It's not visually noticeable but would like to get it fixed. Probably will just get mtech eventually.

Wondering what that peice is called? Just front floor panel? I don't want it to be a reason to have difficulty adding the mtech. Maybe the engine shield that I will need will replace this? If anyone who has done the mtech body kit for the e92 can chime in it would be great.

thanks

It's just the front bumper skin. If you're going to get an M-tech bumper then might as well just leave it as is.

Thanks for the quick reply, but it's not the bumper cover, but what the bumper cover is attached to that is damaged and pulled from. The bumper cover kind of ripped from this.

There are a few pieces under the car that protects the car. If I'm not mistaken, there are three. One in the front, and towards the center of the car there is a left and right one. I would suggest lifting it up and removing the broken piece and remove the broken parts and bring it to your local dealership to order new ones
