That'll buff out.
I'd even be tempted to not make a claim, unless u have protected no-claims?

That really is a "bugger" moment - sorry to see your car looking so sad OP.
I hope the U turn numpty stopped, or you got their details and hope your car can be repaired.

Plastic weld ftw. If it hasn't splintered into a million pieces it could be potentially saved and any scratches polished out. Maybe a new topcoat and laquer.
The alignment at the bonnet and lights looks unaffected.
I'd have a crack at it to save a few bob anyway.
The rads definitely a goner though.
OP make sure you check around main (engine/gearbox) seal for any oil leaks. That would potentially be your biggest problem if the sump or bottom end's taken a nudge.

A front Si bumper isnt hard to come by & not extortionate so that part of the fix should be fairly cheap.Chris_D wrote: ↑Sun Sep 13, 2020 8:46 pmPlastic weld ftw.

Doesn't take much for a insurance company to write off these days & dependent on miles & if op claims I'd expect them to go that way rather than hire car for a month plus a circa £2k-£3k repair
