No way I would replace the bumper, and generally trying to fix the scratch just makes it worse, Just go with if that is the worst thing that happens to the car then your car is going to have a great life.

Did the scratch go through the clear coat into the paint?

Most good detail shops can cut/polish those scratches out ,then have it clearbra'd

No, the scratches are aren't in the paint, they are on the bottom of the black plastic grill/mustache. That's what makes a fix so difficult.
