Don't beat yourself up, Stewart. We've all made mistakes like that. When I used to keep my Morgan in a sectional concrete garage, I got the front bumper hooked onto one of the sections next to the door whilst reversing out in a hurry.
Shifted the concrete panel, bent the door frame, scraped the paint on the side of the wing, and bent the bumper. You can still see the stress mark in the bumper to this day from where I bent it back.
Your car can be fixed. It's only a bit of patina.
