Plastic welding's your best bet in the long term mate. Filler tends to sink with age, but they both work well

Get an old bumper and cut bits off it to melt in to yours.

Expanding foam would be the easiest way of doing your number plate recess imo. If you're on about where will you put the number plate then anywhere you want haha
