Would this (small) damage require a full replacement of the front bumper or could it be "fixed"?

Was parking in a crappy lot, didn't realize that the end of the space elevated. Ended up getting this on my front bumper and the plastic. Would this require a full replacement or could it be repaired or something?

It would require sanding, bondo, then painting to fix.

In all honestly just live with it or get a bit of touch up paint and make it look somewhat decent.

Yeah, I'd agree. If you're gonna drive a car, it's unfortunately not gonna stay pristine forever.

I agree, it may happened often in your car life

Touch up paint and move on. It's likely to happen again.

Because... i did this to mine as well in winter haha. Didn't see the snow covering a huge curb block and drove right onto it.

Agree that ouch up and sanding is the best approach, some shops will do a quick spray touch up for around $150

I'd wet sand it and mask it off and spray paint it.

I was going to start a new thread but I'm going to hijack. I smoked a coon at the track tonight and it dented the corner of the bumper. I mostly worked it out but the paint is lightly cracked. It's plastic of course and so not worried about rust and can live with it if I can get the bottom part to form right with the black plastic piece to clip on without this gap. On a good note I'm taking the bumper off anyway for intercooler and grill and lip install. What do you guys think. A heat gun and work it, maybe scew the plastic piece into bumper for tighter fit.

Just touch up up.
That low on the bumper only worms & ants will see it.

Definitely repairable. Expect $300ish as a price for full repair.
