Does it compromise the integrity of the frame itself or is it just the bumper thats broken? Also, some pics might help.

that shouldnt be too much of a problem. i would put bumper tape on the whole bumper guard or just buy a new guard all together.
unfortuantly i got it all custom when i bought it i tested it out properly today it was awesome. exept for the not so awesome look of it with tape on it. can i use the same strings when i restring it or do i need to pay for new ones and also is there a particular bumper that i need or will most fit it.

The grommet/bumper is specific to the racquet or sometimes series of racquets. They are very inexpensive, about $5, but can only be replaced when restringing.
No - you can't use the same strings, you'll need to pay for new ones when you get your racquet restrung. If the damage isn't bad, go to your local tennis shop and buy some head protection tape and use that until you need to restring. Then get a new grommet later when you get your racquet restrung.
Here's the grommet you need for an O3 Speedport Red:

That's a nice stick, enjoy it!

Yes, it's all together in a set. It may be one piece or a couple pieces depending on the racquet model. It'll also include the throat grommets as well.

Don't you have a warranty or guarantee ? Just checking.
Just got it and the bumper cracked; that's a hard kick in a soft place isn't it.
I like to use head protective tape. Most pro shops should have it. But with the O port racquets it makes it difficult. Plan electrical tape might actually work better in this case as it is not as wide as regular headtape. Two strips on either side, worth a try.
