Scratch bumper/broken tail light

Hi,
I recently hit my Sentra into a pole in a parking lot; broke the bottom of the tail light and scratched the bumper deeply. I'm not sure what would be the best approach to fix it.

I don't necessarily want a "brand new" look, but just wanted to know if it's ok to drive with it that way? Would it rust from rain/snow if I don't fix the scratches?

Can I apply some scratch-treatment from a store, or would it better to get professionally fixed?

Please advise!

Just replace the taillight with a new or used one - they're pretty cheap on Ebay or even try junkyard so you don't get any water leaks. The bumper cover itself is not made of metal so I don't think rust is a problem, if it's only scratched but still hanging properly then you can leave as is or patch as best you can.

Of course the best approach is a profeesional fix.

If you need a replacement tail light, check ebay. You can get them pretty cheap there. Or RockAuto.com.

As far as the scratch is, it really just depends on how bad and big it is. If it's just a single gash, you might try a little touch up paint. If it's a big scuff, it will need to be painted.

You can try some scuff fixer, but I've never seen any that actually works.
