Default My xb got hit this morning! See what you think

This morning the fornt of my xb got hit by a G6! i was not at fault, but it still angers me because its soo new. the front bumber is trashed, and the front of the G6 hit my front wheel causing it to be bent in. well i took off the tire and the shock is kinked and bent, other then that i dont think anything else is wrong. the metal panel above the wheel is fine with no dents or scratchs. But imm just soo mad that this even happened, the car is every bit of 3 weeks old. Well, let me know what you think as far as damage goes. How much do you think it will cost to fix everything? (bumper, lower grill piece, shock) I have some pics below.

here is a picture of the wheel bent inward


Here is a pic of right where the G6 hit me


This is the damaged bent and broken bumper. notice a piece of the lowest grill is missing

imm almost positive the axle is not bent, because i drove it home from where it happened and there was no vibrations, it felt like it drove fine except fo the alignment is jacked up. and the front metal fender above the wheel is flawless...not dented or scratched at all. it just looks smashed in the picture. damn this is going to be expensive
right when it happened i was redy to get out with the tire iron swingin

yeah the bumper should be the least of my worries. now imm just worried about the wheel being bent inward....when i took off the wheel the shock was bent noticably. Do you think anything else is causing it to be bent in?

I got hit simillarly it didn't bend any suspension parts but i did need a new bumper, fender, hood, and passenger headlight, all said and done it was written out for $4100 the front bumper is cheap it lists for approx 150 the front lip is lists 380 and the fender was approx 125. I say lists for cause i just paid the differance on a bodykit and had such a "wonderfull" time making it fit... I'm sorry to see another xB smashed up but who's fault was it, maybe it won't cost you anything, you never know.
