SUV backed into me with trailer hitch, then someone hits me with their door

My body guy says it's not going to be fixable and that I should find a new bumper. Insurance is giving me $500, so I don't want to pay for an OEM replacement. I'll need something with a center radiator hole as well unless I want to butcher a base bumper.

I am also looking for a rear bumper, as someone opened a door into it in my parking garage (but of course no one takes responsibility).

This is really frustrating. In two years of ownership, the car's never been damaged while moving, but has been damaged 4 times while parked, needing paint for each one. It's as if the world does not want me to have anything nice.

Anyone have pics of a 986 with 996 or aftermarket front bumper? Those are my likely options unless I can find a wrecked or parting 986S.
