Dents in the front bumper/nose cone!?

Dents in the front bumper/nose cone!?
I just noticed that I have an abrasion at the very tip of the nose of my car (the point that hits first if you say pull too far into a parking spot and hit the snow bank...)
Well the abrasion is fixable, the 4 inch scratch below it is fixable as well. BUT there are two dimples in the plastic just below the scratch (on the bumper just over the center air scoop).
I'd have no reservations having the nose resprayed, but can they fix indentations in plastic...? I don't want to get a new bumper???
Thanks,

Those two dimples are from the factory to mark where the front license plate screws should be drilled.
I would say just leave the two dimples there, and don't worry about it.

The scratch and abrasion could/will probably be wet sanded successfully.
I was happy to hear that there are factory indents there, but mine are not centered...? I've had my car since October of 09'. Its never been through a wash. I wash it myself a minimum of twice a week. I'm pretty sure these are new...
I'll check out a new car at the dealer and likely end up taking it to my body shop to see what they suggest.
Thanks for the replies.

You should post a photo, otherwise hard to know what the dents are.
FWIW, my ".2" has no dimples - the only thing to key the license plate is a centered tab up under the bumper above the vent.
I think if what you are seeing are for the plate, they would be even distances from center.
