Should I get my bumper repaired/replaced, get a new car lease or do nothing?

My car lease expires in 2.5 years, but I have moderate damage to my back rear bumper (likely only cosmetic). Should I do nothing, get it repaired/replaced or see what the dealership can do concerning buying the car and giving me a new leased one?

Here's a photo of the damage - https://ibb.co/j46Gd1T

    That's plastic, right?

    I'd see if a body shop could pop it back out, before I drove that way for 30 more months.
