Default More problems

My car (Audi A4 1.8 SE), has recently decided to let the front left side of the bumper become dangerously loose. It now looks on the verge of falling off at any minute.
Its about 25mm lower than it should be.

Any quick fix solutions?

Default is it just black plastic fairing underneath the bumper?

If so, a dealer could fix it cheap (replacement hold-downs)

Default Push it back on....

If you're talking about the side of it, under the fender, then it should just pop back on, or else you've got a broken mount. There are no screws on the side (except for the wheel liner)

If it's the front, then you've got problems. There is a bolt in each of the side grilles (remove the grilles, look on top) that goes to a bumper shock. If the bumper shock is broken, it could cause the front to sag.
