Hard to judge

I bought a damaged CSL bumper off eBay for £550 but that included 2 new BMW splitters and a new grille

and the damage wasn't half as bad

I was told by Simpsons that a repair like that done properly costs £400-500 plus spray.

I'd say you could get £300-500 for the damaged bumper if no splitters or grille were included.

Just don't do a cheap repair!

I am getting a repair done on one with very similar damage at the moment (purchased from fellow forum member) ... Don't use fiberglass - use the proper stuff and do a proper repair:

Here's before:

During repairs (mind the crappy phone camera photos):
