*CRASH* oops.

Today, a guy just flat out stopped in front of me on a merge lane (he said he thought a guy was coming through the intersection...while we had a green arrow...and wanted to be safe.) Ironically, I had just gotten my brakes done a couple days prior. I couldn't stop in time, what with all the snow we're getting in Denver.
So far, all I can see as far as damage to my car is that there's a little scuff on the front fascia, my license plate got a little tweaked (already straightened back out by hand, didn't even have to remove it), and the driver side grill got knocked out.
On the bright side, that gave me a perfect excuse to buy a new set of grills! Everything's operating normally; no unusual sounds or vibrations, everything's running nice, and heating and cooling appears to be normal. There are no leaks or anything.
Can y'all think of anything else I might have missed? I'd really rather not go through insurance to replace a $30 part!
Your deeply upset pal,
Mr. C
