Hi David, there is a lot going on behind the frontal area bodywork in terms of crash protection structure, chassis fixing points, etc. The only true way to determine the extent of the "under the skin" damage is to remove the nosecone and assess what has been displaced. Any competent bodyshop will be able to make that happen.

Alternatively, if you want a DIY looksee, then if you have access to back copies of the JE magazine (from the JEC) even via the JEC website, there is a full piece on removing and replacing the nosecone to repair some minor parking damage in the issue for March 2018, page 65.
