Parking Violation

bluegargantuaHey,
So last night I went to this restaurant to get some supper. When I got in my car to leave, there was this terrible crunching noise. So I got out to look. Like a lot of parking lots, the place here had these little concrete bumpers designed to keep you from parking on the sidewalk. Unfortunately, the concrete bumper got locked up with the plastic bumper on my car and when I backed up...crunch.
So the bumper has been pulled out of alignment and if the mass of plastic screws I found on the pavement are any indication, that's a permanent condition. So I've got to get some body work done. But assuming that they won't have my bumper on hand and since I need to use my car for a few days it's going to be a bit dicey.
I lost an internal mudguard on the passenger side. Does anyone no if that will present serious problems or will they just run a hose over it to clean off the muck and be happy? I don't see any dangling bits of plastic touching the ground, but is there anything else I should check for/be worried about?
I am, of course, less than two months away from paying the car off.
later
Tom
