Accident help

i am so pissed. I let my sister drive my car today. Big mistake. She hit a mailbox and a pile of wood because she pressed the gas instead of the brake. Well, the driver side rear view mirror is working but just misaligned and the front passenger-side bumper is really messed up--the paint is chipping away and it is the size of a basketball. If you guys could help me out by giving me an estimate of these damages and recommendations i would really appreciate it. Thanks.

yea, i know. the paint is chipping off and i can see the white on the bumper where the paint chipped. It looks so bad. There is an body shop in town my friend went to, but if i could get your suggestions before i go in that would be good.

She has her license, but it was her first time driving at night. she's just a bad driver to begin with. prolly my fault for letting her drive my car. i just hope that i can get it fixed for cheap.

well adjusting the mirror is fine, thus the motor works. However, the attachment of the mirror and the base is offset. There is a large gap from the mirror and the base and it is not level. I think it needs to be put back in place, but i cannot just pop it back into place.
