Gutted for you.

I would spend some time tomorrow morning getting quotes from a couple of body shops, I'd ask them for 3 quotes as follows
a)repair using new parts,
b)repair with you supplying new parts.
c)repair with you supplying used parts (so no painting).

I would then contact their insurance company saying that you will accept a cash settlement for a figure just below the highest and that you will arrange the repair - get the parts you need and repair yourself, I'm sure there will be help from the forum, then spend the difference on some mods.

Also worth collecting together all the current ads for the more expensive mk2 that are around at the moment so you can show the insurance companies the current true cost of a replacement against book.
