Unhappy Front Right Wheel Area Scraped - Repair or Replace?

It was bound to happen given how close the wall is in my parking spot. I finally scraped the front flat area around the front right tire of my ZR, and a little bit of the piece above it. If that makes sense. It's a pretty nasty scrape that's down the to plastic.

So my question is can this be repaired or will I have to replace the entire front bumber piece and the piece that's scraped above it? And then the final question is, around how much is this going to cost me?

*sigh*

I am sure it can be repaired.
it will cost less to repair than buying a new bumper.

Hard to say without seeing it.

Whether you repair it or buy a new bumper you still have to paint it. thats around 200/250 or so, the bumper I think is less than 300.

The difference between the cost of the repair or a new bumper is probably only 100/200. It may be worth it to you to get a new one. if you have drilled license plate holes you can get rid of'em.

Someone rubbed my Z in a parking lot while I was shopping.
Came back to a nice surprise.

This cost my insurance company 3,500 to fix

Good Luck with it.
