Unhappy When front bumper meets snow plow

Last week our plough guy took a bit of a slide on the ice while doing our drive.

You don't feel as bad when you're leasing.
Estimate ~$900

Looks like the whole front bumper skin will have to be replaced with that crease. I don't feel that it could be heated up and straightened. Sorry for your loss, these cars sit low.
