There is no easy fix there.

You cannot buy the lens separately. Even if you could, the lens needs to be baked off in an oven.

The bumper is plastic and will retain memory creases if you straighten it out. The only way to make it right is a new bumper.

Good news is any little nicks or marks on the old rear bumper will be gone of course and it will all look better than new.

I am guessing that the lenses for the headlights cant be bought separate either?
