Looking at the picture, I got some good news for you - that's a plastic bumper cover that you can replace easily. The Body shop orders a new Bumper Cover, paints it white - and with the car being new, the paint should match perfectly - and then replace the existing one with the new one. It's so easy to remove, you can replace it yourself even. Two screws, one in each wheel well, then a few clips on top, and some screws on the bottom for the plastic cover and the nose is off...

Now, the trick is, making sure the police report is factual and accurate, and have them pay for it...

Well if the idiot who hit you had insurance you could ask for Depreciation Value of your car.

+1 It appears to only be bumper so worst case scenario you can replace it yourself and it's easy. You could also get a Nismo or alternate front bumper if you want to or planned to change it to look at it in a positive way. Good luck hope things work out.
