Looking at the first of Eds photos if you zoom in you can see the front edge of the leg is well down and slightly back and theres possibly gouge marks on the tyre from the bumper mount.
Its worse damaged than the SLDT I bought off Carlos182 and that should of had a new leg as it was about 2-5cm shorter even after trying to pull it out.
Best bet to see if you have serious structural damage is have a look under the bonnet where the wing meets the chassis between the base of the windscreen and the top of the strut and if the wing is lifted off the chassis then you may well have issues as thats a secondary crumple zone. Its got alot of holes drilled through the leg at that point to make sure it deforms in a crash. If it is deformed there Id be worried about taking it on track or properly pushing it in corners afterwards as once the metal starts to go its properly weakened there and your suspension will be out of alignment.
