Front bumper scratch by accident

Hi guys I just have the worst day yesterday with my BRZ with such a great car I have try to be caution and careful when I went through hump or edge but I have just scratch one corner of my front bumper which I am really sad right now.

I just wondering is there any solution for me to fix it? Could u please provide me some advice and how much will it cost to fix it? Photos attached.

Thinking to buy some sanding paper to sand the impact area and buy dr. Colorchip to fix it temporary and if there's more in the future will bring to get it respray? Just dunno how much will that cost tho... SighName:  ImageUploadedByTapatalk1408749128.140553.jpg

Just forget about it . The only time you are going to see it is when you are changing the oil. And if you don't do your own oil changes you won' ever see it

I know but I just feel heart broken and want to fix it for this type of paint... Will the dr. Colorchip is the best way to go in budget and go for a respray later on? If yes how much will that cost?

Repaint it if you want it back to square one. Otherwise you have to live with it. Trust me, SWP is a beautiful color and hard to match. And getting your first boo boo is such a bitch. There will be many more cars in your life for this happen to. Live with it and keep driving the shit out of it.
