Front Splitter Repair

I know this has nothing to do with engine or tuning but my car came with a m sport splitter and since I also have m sport suspension my car is low so the splitter scrapes on everything, recently the front of the splitter scrapped badly and the car doesn't look as good. Do any of you guys know anyway I can maybe fix this? I don't know what type of material it is but I don't think its fiberglass. Again sorry for posting this under engine tuning and performance I just wanted to know if any of you gods can help lol.

I was only asking because people with 220 and 228 can get the m sports parts, and they consider that a "splitter" hence why I asked

Take it to a body shop?

Not really sure what you are looking for here...if you were capable of repairing it yourself, you would probably already know how to. Therefore, I would just go to a body shop to see what they say. Also, some pictures might be helpful.

Why not just buy a new one ($500) and then either keep it black or paint to match? Depends on how bad the damage is and if any "repair" will actually look good.
