Was going highway speeds when the person in front of me had ran over a tire, I couldn't have moved out of the way without causing possibly more harm. How bad is it and $ estimates? What're these wires?
Make sure the radiator is in place and not pushed back towards the engine. Check the engine oil cooler hoses. Make sure it doesn’t leak coolant. Other than that, a shop will have to put it in the air to check for possible further damage. Maybe get the alignment checked.

Got a shop to put it in the air, they didnt see anything damaged, outside of the exterior temperature sensor. Would you happen to have an idea on the bumper repair itself?
I can't see any cracks on the bumper, so it may just be a respray. That will vary widely by the shop that does it ($250-$500). You'll also need the splitter vane in the middle. I found one on ebay for $50 (before shipping)
To make sure you get the right paint color, you might want to do it at a shop that works on jaguars. Or, some shops have "exact paint matching". They have some fancy machine that analyzes the paint and it's components, allowing an almost perfect paint match.
If you go with the second option, make sure that you get "exact paint match" IN WRITING before you allow them to work on the car.
If it was my car, I'd buy a new splitter vane, use copious touch up paint and clear coat, wet sand it, buff it, and send it. But others like to keep their car nice which I respect.

Took off the broken Splitter Vane to get a closer look. Found some spliced wires that connect to three different components. Dont know what this is, assuming its the front Bumper Radar Detector Presumably the front Bumper Radar Detector Assuming this is the Exterior Temperature Sensor.
