Default Sapph Rear bumper mounts

It looks as though one of my metal rear bumper brackets has snapped. Does anyone know of any way to fix them or does someone sell replacement ones at all? I've searched online but not been able to find any at all :-(. My cars looking a little sad with a lobsided bumper at the moment which is not a good look at all.

Also does anyone know the exact bolt size that holds the metal brackets in through the boot as it looks as though one of them is near enough rounded off and I may as well replace that as well.

I think they are just an m8 with a large penny washer.
Have you made sure the bolt hasn't come undone and the bumper hasn't then dropped, as the bolt holds the metal brackets that slide into the chassis rails up tight to the top of the chassis rail.?

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks for the bolt size. I was under the car the other week and it definitely looks as though the bracket has broken.
But I will double check everything once I get the bumper off.
