Default Tangling with a brick!

Merrily driving down a country lane when i leave it too late to notice someone has left a brick in the middle of the road! a big clunk later all the damage i notice is the a scrape at the front! After scraping my heart back off the bottom of the deepest ocean I've got a dilemna! Get it repaired? or get a front spoiler to cover it up? or go the whole hog and get front and boot spoiler? Is there any other possible damage i should look for?

Just to the wallet.

Did the brick hit the underside anywhere?
Exhaust etc.?

Get the front spoiler, it will cost the same as respray. Just make sure it will cover the problem.

The underside of S's are pretty robusty - after my little escapade with the curb and the gravel and spinning and......

The sills are not the strongest but the under carriage as it were is pretty damn robust. Get Honda to have a glance underneath but you will probably be ok. Hope so (and I know that heart in ocean feeling)
