HELP with Parts needed for repair!

Reversed out of a parking space buuut din't reverse far enough before engaging the turn and driving right the bleep over the concrete division

Any idea what parts I might end up needing to get the front end working as it should?? Without having yet taken off the wheel I don't see any warping/ bending of the strut itself.

Any help/ recommendations are appreciated!

For what it's worth I did find this.. Not sure if I'm missing out on any possible parts that might need replacing beyond what is listed here

Check with these guys for parts. They usually have them for half of retail cost. I would also have it checked to make sure the strut tower is not deformed.

As I explained in his crosspost, the mount looks sacrificial.

But, did the hood get a dent from the strut??
