" so there was no need for any issues to be raised with the insurer at the outset. Now that they know - they will write it off as the repair is more than the value of the car.
If I were you - let them write it off - buy it back and punt around in it with a few quid in your pocket. The damage as far as I see it in terms of the insurance company - has now been done.

I took it to one of Admiral's repair centres as the claims guy suggested it was a good idea, just so I knew my position and what options would be available to me. Then they seemed to skip about 5 steps I expected them to go through and just wrote it off and cancelled the insurance.
They offered me £1300 to get the repairs done myself, but it would obliterate my NCB as they're not protected atm.
