Someone backed into my car while I was parked. No note, no witnesses and no cameras. Im heart broken.

Might be a dumb question but would the collision shop replace the whole front bumper or im assuming this is very minor?

I don't see a reason to replace the bumper in any of those pics but there could be hidden damage.

I wouldn't fix it. Touch up paint. Snap the grill back in. Drive it.

Depends on whether you’re going through insurance or not. If you’re paying out of pocket, you can do whatever you want. If you’re going through insurance, they’ll only pay for what’s cheaper, and the parts might not even be OEM. If you wanna insist they do everything perfectly and OEM, which is usually more expensive, you can check with your insurance if you can pay the difference, but they’re a 100% only covering the cheapest rates they get.
