fwiw - this would have been easy to fix.  i have reincarnated many fiberglass
bumper/trim moulding pieces..  just ask Ron (mr Busdepot) Himself!!   i fixed
the front fiberglass bumper on his personal 89 westy, it was cracked in
half.. i did a superior job, and you cant even tell.  almost any used
fiberglass bumper is going to have cracks, its so easy to fix with fiberglass
matting or with basic body filler or plasticpoxy.  its a shame people throw
out fiberglass bumper pieces just because they have a crack, or a munched
section.. i have fixed the worst, with ease.   once i glassed back a front
fiberglass bumper that was in 3 seperate pieces..  with what these parts cost
new, they are worth fixing..
 To fix the dimples in the lower grille, i would have used either bondo body
filler or plastic poxy..then sanded till smooth, and then sprayed the whole
grille with semi-gloss black krylon out of a spray can.   would have taken
you very little time, and no cost..  doing it yourself.

take care
