Default minor nose damage advice

Hey guys unfortunately my firehawk sustained some damage. I bumped into a tree moving my car this winter and I got a l couple of cracks in the bumper around the foglight. Can this be repaired at a body shop or do I have to replace the whole nose?

Sorry no pics but its cracked through the plastic. So I guess what I am asking is whether or not the bumper cover is a repairable item or should I order a new one from SLP ($450)

It can be repaired. I do body work for a living, I see stuff like this all the time. The funny thing is that depending on how bad it its, its cheaper to replace than repair.
