Front shroud/bumper cover

There was a steeply pitched entrance of an underground parking facility. Even going fairly slowly, the cover hit the floor adjoining the ramp.


The shroud hit the floor. The pic attached shows what happened. Anyone know if this can be repaired or must a whole front piece be bought, painted and attached? Is the shroud one piece?


This really irks me, as it was not simply being careless. The ramp attendant basically blew me off, as I asked to speak to a manager, so I am stuck.


I know everything w/ these fine machines is expensive, but I think I'd rather a fix than spend thousands for new. Plus, I don't want to ding my insurance for this (deductible and claim count).


Thoughts?

I would speak to someone who does repairs to fiberglass boats or Corvette bodies which are plastic. They might be able to patch it. Hopefully they can do the work without removing it from the vehicle which could require a several labor hours.

For sure it can be repaired and possibly just spot painted (if you have a skilled painter involved)
