A neighbour a few doors down accidentally caught our car whilst reversing in the dark. We all had a look at it at night and it seemed to be practically nothing, but in daylight it's a fair bit worse. It goes across two separate panels (front passenger door + front bumper).

It's not the end of the world obviously and we're not super fussy people but a little concerned about it rusting up over time potentially, but really not experts on this. Does anybody have any thoughts on how to proceed with neatening up something like this? :)

Any help very appreciated!
 
Thank you very much for the replies, guys, much appreciated. I'll do exactly this after speaking with the neighbour hopefully today. There's a very small dent too it seems, which doesn't show up on the picture.
 
Thank you very much for all the replies, guys. I'm going to follow the general advice and pop to a smart repair centre for quotes when this storm passes, so probably Monday.

The lady who caught the car has agreed to pay in full, but if the bill is £300+, me and my wife will probably feel very uneasy with making her pay and may opt to just leave it, so it all depends on the quote i guess.
 
I popped the car this morning to a good value garage and i've been quoted £130, and she's accepted that and is going to make bank transfer sometime soon. At that point I'll arrange to get it sorted. Thank you for all the advice/feedback and amusing comments, much appreciated :D
