The easy stuff first, you gotta scroll down for the good stuff.
This will be an easy pop into place...... well it should be.
The general overview: wait whats that? Zoom in.
Hmmm, i think thats supposed to be straight
Light damage to the outer CV joint sleeve and possibly the sway bar linkage but i doubt it.
Lets have a look underneath.... Oh my...... thats not supposed to do that.
Speaking to a mechanic today to see if they will do it. I hon estly want to mess with it as i dont have a lift and with out it this will be an ordeal and a half. Gonna cost a bit but hopefully wont break me.

Control arm shouldn’t be that expensive, i think it was around $60 for the Mini, tie rods are inexpensive as well...as long as the shock tower isn’t deformed, it shouldn’t be too bad i think.
CV shaft can be pricey tho... depends on the car and aftermarket...

I bet CV is fine. Lower A arm + tie rod. No big deal.

Sorry, I’m not awake...that looks like the control arm is broken, right?

As long as the mounting points are fine, it shouldn't be too bad.

Yup, parts and labour shouldn’t be too bad. I’ve replaced most of those parts myself in the driveway pretty easily, so I imagine it wouldn’t take long at all with the proper tools and training.

Control arm and a tie rod shouldn’t be too bad to replace. Check that the steering rack itself isn’t cracked though. CV looks fine from the pictures. For the rear bumper it might pop back into place, but it probably will need a couple clips replaced.

I’ve replaced suspension arms and steering bits without a lift before, it’s not fun, but it’s really not that hard.

Same here, although I cheated and dropped the subframe to do control arms...tbh its not that difficult of a job, its a good one to learn how to work on cars
