How high up does the damage come? When I scuffed it (pic on page 1) I thought I might be able to cover it by fitting the front splitter that Honda supply. I checked the measurements and unfortunately I was a few millimetres out but if I could have covered it I'd rather have paid

Glad you're OK 
This story sounds like me (and probably every other new s2000 owner) I also thought about using 17" but in the end just put new Toyo Proxes on the back and the difference in grip is amazing, like being on the proverbial rails, recommend this if you're short of cash (

That bumper is buggered!
It will have stress cracks in the plastic.
I'd get a used one and get it sprayed up.
BTW that one has been sprayed once (over spray on splash tray), also there looks to be an alignment issue on the driver headlight!

Yeah, I know it's been sprayed before, thanks.
The bumper is poping out a little at the top near the driver side headlight causing the misalignment

Stress cracks weaken the plastic so you will not be able to keep it stable enough to prevent new paint flexing and cracking on top of it!
You might get away with a front lip like this;

Mikey this is my old car - you can see the scuff mark on page 1 where it was sprayed before. Mines was just a scrape so needed some light fill and paint and the job was perfect. Going by those pics though this does look a little worse. There appears to be a very slight crack that has spread from the underside to the part of the bumper you can see (2nd top pic near one of the bolts). My fear is that through general flexing it would do as mikey says and crack your new
