Default IS300 bumper repair...

So, my best friend bumped her bumper.

The corner is dented (like a football indentation) with black paint scratched (so no special pearly color).

QUESTION:

Is it easier/cheaper to replace the bumper, or is this a relatively easy fix and repaint
?

Any suggestions?
