Default Girlfriends little brother hit my jeep 😡

So my girlfriends little brother was parking and tried to squeeze in between my jeep and girlfriends car and clipped my driver side bumper and license plate frame. At first I was a little bothered but was okay since it was just the frame and could be replaced. Upon further inspection the license plate frame has been pushed into the actual metal of the car and created a dent like area of damage. Is this going to be an expensive fix? I'm pretty annoyed right now as my jeep is a month old.

Also is this something that will be fixed with something as simple as PDR?

All advice welcomed.

Corner skins will fix everything and you get a cool upgrade.

Trying to avoid upgrades for now, and I am also not much of an off-roader and don't like the look of the corner guards

Doesn't like corner guards or upgrades?

Aev makes some really simple stamped steel corner guards look pretty much stock.

Only 300 dollars that's cheap

This is what car insurance is for. File a claim with his insurer. If your girlfriend has a problem with it, find a new girlfriend.

Unfortunately he doesn't have a job as he just started college for whatever reason. I don't want to get anyone's insurance involved because the parents already offered to fix it on their tab.

I don't like corner gaurds and just want to fix the jeep the way she came.

I'll try to snap some pictures today so you guys can get a better idea.

Paintless dent repair guys are your friend for this sort of thing. They should be able to easily get it back to where it should be. As for the little brother, beware of sibling loyalty.
