Default Damaged the Front Bumper!!

So guys the other day I was putting away old stuff from in the house out to the garage. I had an old microwave and set it on the floor out in the garage and I totally forgot. So As I came home I did my usual parking routine and ended up clipping my front bumper corner and it somehow cracked the bottom of my lip, cracked my reflector, dented the bumper pretty good, and pushed my inner fender of the plastic part a little out. I did not know a small microwave can do such damage. Anyways wanted to share some pictures of my damaged baby

Will have it fixed pretty soon.. my poor baby is hurt

at the same time you get that fixed, have them fix your roof as well... there seems to be something growing out of it.

Does not look too bad. Your body shop should be able to fix it relatively cheap. What was your $$ estimate to repair it?

Ive had a little worse happen to my front bumper same place. The body shop that I have at work charged me 40 to repair the work and 120 to spray the whole front bumper. It was like it never happened and didnt have to claim it on my insurance so no 500 deduct.
