Fixing scratches on the front bumper!

[camita]

Hi all. I am not a car person, but recently got a 2000 Berlina. There are bits and pieces that need fixing, nothing major though, and I am sick of not being able to fix little things in cars without paying a fortune. So I'm going to try and learn!
Anyway, I stupidly let my housemate drive my car around the corner, which he then ran into a gutter, knocked the front bumper off, and scratched the side of it pretty badly. I got the bumper back on, but I want to know if it's possible to fix the scratch marks. It's the plastic stuff. Can I 'sand' it back and touch it up with paint? What do I sand it back with?

These questions are probably stupid, but if I don't ask I won't know will I?!

Thanks

How deep are the scratches? Is the plastic gouged or just paint missing?
