1. I had the exact same damage on my 84 carrera cab by the same lady I think. She backed into me with her 4x4 SUV because she decided to turn right instead of left. Anyway, her insurance company paid for all of it, and my shop did a complete nose repaint and get the paint matched perfectly.
2. In my BMW M3, an old lady knocked me from behind, left 2 divets on the painted bumper (where her license plate screws hit), refused to accept responsibility until I showed her the paint on her license plate, and then i let her go. It was not worth worrying about, and the 2 small divets are not going to kill me.
3. On the same M3, a hispanic guy drifted off into his own dream at the light, bumped my car from behind, left a faint line where his license plate hit. Since I already got the 2 divets, another line was not going kill me. I let him go after telling him to do the same for someone else one of these days.

I figure my good karma will come back to me some day. In the mean time, a good buffing and a good wax job will hide any thing. I have not had any headache since.
