Car Bang 200

I was involved in the car bang today. I was exiting the tpike during the rush hour. The lady in other car did not stop at the stop sign which merged the street with the exit ramp. I was around 20-30 miles per hour and slowing down. Car's front right corner met with other car's passenger door.

Damages are 1. side fender 2. corner light 3. bumper is out of alignment , left side is 1/2 an inch down. 4. Bonnet is out of alignment, but I can open and close it with some wiggling 5. metal piece below corner lights is damaged. Car is drivable, I drove 135 miles after the incident.
I have yet to see troopers's result, to me fault is on her side, stop signs are there for a reason.

I was planning to order the parts, at least the side indicator assembly so that it is functional.What else should be put new. How should I go about body parts. Should I go to junk yard and try to find the body panels and later on paint it to match the color or try to remove the dent which looks like a difficult task.

Painting will be a separate thread if I do not find the exact match.
