Front bumper accident. Need a replacement.

So I was at Micky Ds getting some breakfast an gently tapped the truck in front of me on accident. As a result I now have a dent and a cracker on my front bumper. What's the cheapest way to go about fixing this? I'm guessing I need a new front bumper. So does anyone know where I can get one or is anyone selling their old bumper??

Cheapest is taking it to an auto restoration business that fixes this stuff for new car dealers. There's a guy right across from my MBZ dealer that fixes plenty of dented and torn plastic bumpers for the dealership. It's plastic, so it can be formed and welded. The key is finding someone that is good at what they do.
