bumper cover to the bumperskin:
^
Carefully lift up on the loose side, clean the bumperskin and the protective cover area to be reattached using 3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner
Part number 08984 or equivalent. Ensure both surfaces are clean and dry.

Using ordinary masking tape, carefully mask-off around the edges of the bumperskin to prevent any adhesive spillage from damaging the bumperskin
