If you have car insurance use it, that's what is for. If you can't afford your deductible, then drive it until you get this resolved (you did say it seemed to drive fine). It is far better to see a doctor immediately and CYA then to go later and try to blame it on the accident and give them the opportunity to say you could have hurt it doing something in between that time.
I did the same thing once when I was rear ended in my quadcab, bent the frame and destroyed the bed. I went to the doctor around two weeks later and the insurance company tried fighting it so, I speak from experience. I barely got them to cover the x-rays and MRI. I'm glad it was nothing serious or who knows where it would go.

You have under $1000 damage there.
Below is a picture which happened to me a few months ago, Cost $230 for a brand new fender from Infiniti.
If you can find a fender which is already black then your gold, they take about 10 mins to take off.
My damage cost about $1000 to fix, and that included a new drivers door, fender, paint etc etc. I did it all myself though. (Ive never painted before in my life, but it came out PERFECT)

Thanks again for all the input guys. I'm obviously going to do things a lot differently next time. I'm going to get some estimates today since I have the day off.
