Unhappy Plastic rear bumper

OMG can't believe I scratched it up while parking. The guy didn't have a license plate bracket on and I thought I just bumped it but it scratched up my plastic part my of rear bumper. Looks like I have bar codes on the back now. Any suggestions on how to make it less noticeable?

Don't look at it. Sorry, couldn't resist.
You may be able to get a shop to do partical repaint. Believe it or not they can do a pretty good job. I had my e39 done once ($80). Only when you look at it from a certain angle you can see the clear coat giving off different reflection -- as far as touching it, you don't feel any difference. Again, if they are good at what they do, they should be able to do it. You have a silver car, so not sure what the outcome would be.

Some on Porsche boards have reported success with Dr Color Chip. They say it requires practice! Some say they couldn't make it look like they wanted.
