File a claim with the other driver's insurance company. Make them pay to fix it. Make them give you a rental car while yours is in the shop. They should take care of you. And if they don't, sue them.
It's probably minor, but if I'm not mistaken there's a styrofoam pad under there that is probably smashed, and the metal on this car bends easily. The plastic bumper can pop back out and mask all that. Get the body shop let you see it yourself once they get the bumper cover off, so you know what's being done and that it's being done correctly.
Don't worry about the crash being on the record. It won't make enough difference to the value of the car (if any at all) to justify eating the cost of the repair yourself.
