I understeered massivly many years ago in my first sierra fucked 2 alloys, wishbone, shock, spring and i actually bent the anti-roll bar

head back to the gypsies and ak them to steal you an alloy the same as that one,
if your worried about more damage maybe best taking it to a garage and get it checked unless your competent with a spanner, check yourself

Their surprisingly tough those mk5's,we had one in with the wheel pushed right back against the inner wing,wheel basically snapped in half,ripped the driveshaft out etc. I just changed the whole leg in one,took the strut off,lower arm driveshaft etc all in one piece off a mk4 fiesta as their identical,not a mk3 though,they bolt up differently.
If it drives ok I wouldn't think there's a lot wrong,it'll be obvious if things are bent etc,the wheel won't sit right in the arch,too far back would be my guess.
I reckon you could repair that alloy as well if you wanted,a few hits with a soft faced mallet should see that rim right although I'm sure their no more than Ł40 a throw second hand?

get the tracking checked, you may be lucky but that will show up any damage

I wrote a Corsa courtesy car off when I ploughed over a concrete island about 7 years ago... sump smashed, front end fucked, suspension screwed. So you got off fairly lightly to be honest mate.

I'd try and track down a wheel through the scrappies... or a set of replacement wheels?
