Mate, what are those tyres? They look like killers! No chance in the snow with those! Sorry to see the damage, here's hoping it'll all straighten out, at least it seems to be localised at the front

As bad as it looks ,you got away lightly,new bonnet wing bumper are all easy to get ,may actually be easier to give the front panel a tug and cut in the section you need to replace
