What would you do...

I've seen and heard stories of people getting their car wrecked, so I know it could be worse. My scenario was very nearly a hard rear-end collision because a driver wasn't paying attention.

I had the car for less than a week, then some lady grazed my bumper. Here's the damage:



I know. It's not that bad. Most of it will buff out, I'm sure. Assuming insurance pays out, how would you guys go about it? Replace entire bumper? Or buff, touch-up and pocket the money for other things? I could also ask a body shop I know to touch it up for me their way.

I did see a DIY about some guy repairing a scratch on his FR-S by sanding and painting it. I'll install my own mods, but I'm too squeamish for that.

EDIT: they're still waiting on the lady to give her statement... ugh. I haven't had the insurance adjuster quote me yet, but the body shop told me around $700.
