Mine did that, centre bar sagged...
....One hacksaw, some paint and filler, job done, no more sagging!

if you messed about enough maybe you could cut out the foam and make up a metal frame to hold it correctly in place

I have thought about putting a piece of threaded bar in the foam but it's having the nerve to do it

Metal bar underneath the sagging bit is the best idea, might take some careful doing though

I was thinking about carrying on the bar that's on the bottom lip then having a flat piece welded to it to sit under the part that's dropping then paint up same colour as bumper

Mine's the same Lee, bugs me to bits too, mine's off for paint soon so I'm hoping Martin can sort to for me.

I toyed with the idea of cutting most of the foam out and making a metal frame to tie it all together , not the lightest of things the front bumpers
