Won't be going down that route with this!!

That area just seems to be a **** magnet, my wife drives through Wroxham every day to get to work and is forever having people almost hitting her 
If the other party's insurance isn't disputing the claim then you should have a hire car by now, and you can insist on like for like. When the clio hit my BMW because his insurance didn't dispute it they contacted me to offer me a hire car. I accepted and asked what it would be only to be told a Corsa or similar! I argued with the woman that a Corsa wasn't very similar to a 540i Touring!!! After about 15 mins on the phone she agreed to authorise me for a premium hire car and later that evening a very new Mercedes CLS was delivered to my door  For the next 3 weeks I got to drive around in a 55k merc whilst they put my 10 year old BMW back together!!!!!
BTW one thing worth remembering is that if you are hit and the other party admits liability then you will still get a hire car paid for even if your own policy doesn't include it as you are claiming off of their insurance. I've never had replacement cover on any of my policies as I always have at least 3 cars but still got the merc!

got a silly pug 106 today!!! 3 cylinders rule man!!!
pmsl 
2 accessors and 3 bodyshop chaps scratching heads and looking underneath car pointing out what needed doing etc, did point out in certain lights the bootlid is screwed! its slightly twisted and with a bulge too
1197 + vat trade for litre of IAB typhoon paint - as expected - said wouldnt get it from any other source
GOOD NEWS is i have all the monogram brochures MG did saying how much the paint was extra so will use that as my advantage here....
did say it is easily fixable with a new lid and bumper, just the paint would be the issue!

Sorry to hear that, just make sure you get a sensible amount for the car, refuse their first, second and third offers at least!!!!!!
Might be worth getting some quotes from local bodyshops for the repair but I suspect that even with sourcing your own paint it's still going to be pricey, just depends on how much you want to keep the car!
