Cracked front lip!

Going home today on the 401 a big chunk of ice came off the car in front of me. I had nowhere to go because of traffic so I nailed the ice at 140kmh and it cracked the front lip. Anyone know if you can fix that or am I just screwed right now?

i think fibre glass is the most easiest material to break/get damage
the strongest material is urethane

If a bodyshop can fix it I'll take it to my buddy who painted it. I got it painted for $40 so hopefully he can fix it cheap if its possible

If it's ABS then it might be a bit of a pain to fix... Can't mold it back, gotta just tape it with duck tape and plaster over it... Well, that's a cheap paint job, so maybe you can get it repaired for $100 or so

I got a little lucky this morning I guess.
My dad was moving cars around in the driveway and got a little close to one of my mom's flower pots and ended up cracking the lip right in half. So my dad offered to give me the money for a new one.
