A great way to make it like new? Take it to a bodyshop.

I'm sorry for what happened but your question is just... funny

It's an expensive lesson but not even close to the end of the world.

Welcome to the forum! Been lurking for a while, I see.

Don't think PDR and tubes of touch up paint will work for this...

So what those guys said! ^

Judging from the pictures, it seems like the front bumper just needs a repaint. Try to re-polish the headlight and see if you can get the scratches out. If not, then you will need a new headlight. To save some money, try looking for one here in the used FS section or on Ebay.
