Minor accident

Had a little accident in the parking lot at my college yesterday. I was in park dropping my friend to his car, and a minivan reversed into the front of my car. It tapped the front right side, and scratched the wheel (stock), and my front bumper snapped out, but just on the right side. It's barely noticeable, the wheel scratch or the bumper.

I have the guys insurance, and drivers license, he has full coverage but i just need some opinions on whats the best way to get this taken care of.

Oh and I'll put a couple pictures up of the damage in a few.

if your hood is damaged get a cf hood and have it painted it will only cost you $100 extra if that. stock is 600 seibon is 700 and you can have it painted later. the rim will probably get repaired because they retail for 830

think aftermarket parts are sometimes cheaper, nows the time to upgrade

they give a check to the body shop for how much a stock one painted and installed will cost. you can put on whatever you want. if they quote 800 for a new bumper then you have an 800 gift card and a good body shop will work with you

Oh I see. Didn't know that. Need to find a shop who can set that up for me.
