Getting a new bumper is the easiest and best way. They should be plentiful. Other wise its drilling out the ends of the cracks and using special resin to fill them from behind and the usual fill/sand/prime/paint procedure

Its not a bad crack at all I was just saying the cars are so plentiful, available in such a limited range of colours and have a low value so are easily written off for minor damage so if you could get a white bumper for 100 euro from a scrapper it would be cheaper than any other method. If not any decent panel beaters will sort it for 250-350.
