Having seen it, I'd be very surprised if there's chassis damage. Looks like a tow bar has punched through the clam and hit the rad. Otherwise the car is minty.

Had the headlights out today to have a look inside at the potential damage, looks like the only damage is to the mouth of the structure back of the clam hole where i think the air flows through to the rad, there is a splintered piece not sure if its part of the crash box or not, its only a thin cross piece.
