You could try to sand it down to a fine sandpaper and then have a fine sandblast on the area (or the whole) finished off with quick flash of a propane torch before you buy new.

I agree with the repair option. This is crash protection so it will look scuffed up if it is asked to do its job. I would just repair it since it still has its structural integrity.
