Default Parking Brake idiot

I am an idiot.

I forgot to set my parking brake left it running in Neutral, ran inside for just a moment, and my Mustang had rolled down a gentle slope into another car.

Scratched the front GT/CS pretty bad and cracked the front fascia a little bit.

Has anyone ever had their front bumper cover fixed?

Any thoughts?

Fix it or replace it with a totaly new one? I want it to be right.

I would post pictures but my camera is broken at the moment, it has not been my day.

The crack is maybe three inches long with a dent in the middleand it needs the whole bumper cover repainted due to the amount of scratches.

Help!!!

Yikes. I'd get a new one.

How much damage to the other car?

Sorry to hear about that bro...at least nobody got hurt, and at least that's all that happened to your car (I know that's hardly reassuring) Can the fascia be fixed? I think that by the time it was repaired and re-painted, you might be better off getting a new fascia...You can always use this as an opportunity to change to a different if you were so inclined. Good luck with the repairs either way!
