refinishing S5 bumper covers

i found some bumper covers for damn near free on craigslist... but they look like they are in really poor condition... as you can see from the pictures... would they be repairable... or should i keep looking?

Look like they need work. I'm interested in this as well, I just picked up an s5 front bumper and it needs some work, paint in the least.
