Curbed my bumper, need some advice

Just a few days ago, I curbed my bottom side of my bumper in a parking lot. What is the best cost effective way to fix this? Don't really want to use touch up paint because of the scuffed areas and it will look like crap (Tried this before haha). I been looking at ScratchWizard as an option for DIY, but I have no experience with fixing cars. The scratches are pretty deep so I am not sure if the ScratchWizard will work or not. How much do you guys think it will cost if I take it to an auto shop? Thanks for the help.

It's a plastic bumper. Model: BMW 328i

Have you considered buying a set of paint matched splitters off ebay? It'll just go right on top and cover the curb. Pretty cost effective solution in my opinion.

Not sure to be honest as I have an e92 but I did buy my performance spoiler from this seller and it was fine. I think there's another seller that everyone on here recommended, I think emotors2000 if I remember correctly.

Glad to help. Just making sure, did you tell them what color you need?

Yeah, I did. They told me there might be some color difference on whites, but should be okay since bumper is relatively new.
