but i also hear that the sensors on the bumper for the Parking Distance Control have to be re calibrated and that i may as well go through my insurance because of the cost of the calibration and repair?
any thoughts?

Can you share a photo at all? I've repaired a similar issue in my rear bumper with the bumper on without issue if you can get to the inside of it. It is easier taking it off, and they're not difficult to take off. You shouldn't have to re-calibrate reversing sensors though but don't paint over them!
