theyll just take the money off your settlement fee, which will be like ?300 theyll probably sell you it for, so theyll take 300 off the grand n a bit youll probably get back, get an unmoested one at a 52 53 plater under a grand easily, swap all the bits over you want grills ect, sell all the other bits breaking, then get ?60 or so for weighing it in, you probably wont end up out of pocket out of it, maybe insurance will go up slightly next year but these things happen unfortunatly:(

well you could fix it, but would it ever be right thats what you have to ask yourself, front end id probably fix but thats like pretty envolved welding cutting matching there, need new rear quater, new floor bootlid, bumper plus painting and labour itll be like ?4000, ?5000 a an insurance workshop, could get it done for less but still well over a grand

theyre cheap to pick up just now so just think every cloud has a silver lining and make sure you get good money for it because you just had the engine overhauled didnt you;)
