thats so unlucky mate, sorry to see that, i feel for you hard!, i thought i was having a bad time having to replace gearbox and clutch!
hope you get it sorted, maybe time for a new style front end!
an idea mate if your third party is you could claim from a 3rd party agency(like a personal injury claim) who would look at reclaiming moneys from the women insurance to get your car fixed, and your insurance company does not need to get involved at all.
when i had my merc 190e aka TANK someone hit the passenger wing, but i managed to get a claim through for cash without even my insurance company knowing.

Thanks guys...
Some more up to date pics with bumper removed and other bits and bobs...
Also I cant open up my bumper so if anyone knows how I can open it up please let me know...
Also anyone have any idea why getting it into 1st gear is hard...possibly out of place or something?

paint diagram:
Basically because I was edging to the right to tuck myself in as I was blocking the road for the people on the right it could well be my fault.
Now the other driver was going straight and deffo speeding....
& the way things are looking police might try get me done for supposedly attempting to do an illegal right turn when I clearly wasn't turning right and was stationary.
At the mo the odds look against me... so who knows what will happen.

I notice that you put everything back to standard, I can see why you might wanna change your alloys if insurance is coming around but side repeaters? Would the insurance really be that picky?
