Is that only cosmetic damage or worse?

I got an accident with a GT 86 backward without noticing my existence.
Its speed was around 5 km/h, it got only a tiny concave on the back bumper which can only be seen under light,
My BRZ's damage is like the picture following : Fender and front bumper.


I will take it to the dealer to get it repaired as that is totally the GT86's reponsibility and it will covered by his insurance,
For the moment I'm waiting after the 1st oil change, the employers in the dealer will probably drive the car to redline,(Maybe i'm paranoid, that makes really unhappy to get the new car cracked only the next day after pickup )

However, do you think there might be some inside damage beside the fender and front bumper ?

There will be no inside damage. Very straight forward repair.

that is a fender bender, no big deal. a good bodyshop could pull it back out. because the fender is bent, so the fender pop out. pretty sure there is no damage on the bumper.

so the knot of the bumper should be fine ? If the knots are broken, they will replace the bumper....

And there no possibility at all the wheel get touched an it requires some inspection or alignment ?

My another car get problem with the front suspension and it never got fixed... ( That is one of the reason I bought a new car )

If any of the fasteners for the bumper were damaged they will have to fix. Wheel would not have got hit hard enough for a problem. Wheel would hit road bumps harder that was hit.
