Bad luck, as others have said, it's just bad timing you crossed paths with a tw@.
Try a back street panel / spray shop...
I clipped a wall in the Pyrenees last year and crumpled my wing, scuffed the bumper corner knocking it slightly out of line and took a chunk out of the wheel. Back home I took it to the body shop used by my insurer (knew this from previous experience, from a truck into my rear in road works as it happens - he was a tw@ too, but different car). Quoted - £900 plus VAT for a new wing and re-spray not including the wheel or 'anything unseen'... open cheque book
Tried my local backstreet panel basher who charged £200 cash to beat the wing out, fill and professional spay / bake job. Also included a sill I'd scuffed on a rock in the Lakes earlier in the year too whilst he was at it. And sorted the bumper (few quid needed a new clip), scrubbed the scuff out and re-spray. Perfect result for less than my excess. Even gave the car thorough clean as it was filthy from the road trip.

My general point was to try and convey that one should not take a wave through a gap from another driver as read and go for it. Again not suggesting the OP did so. I always think when being waved through - could the driver be waving to someone else such as a pedestrian they may know, gesticulating during a phone conversation etc.... ie things that as a driver you may interpret one way when the other driver means something completely different. An alternative example would be flashing of headlights - I never flash them to let people out. I will leave a gap big enough for others to use - it is up to them if they then use it or not. If you flash and they go for it, who's fault is it if you have failed to see an overtaking motorcyclist/cyclist making their way down the outside of the traffic you are waiting in. yours, theirs, the motorcyclist/cyclist... ?

Valid points mate, thanks for clearing that up!
Apologies to the OP for the hijack also! Hope it's going well...
Sounds like a result - albeit still a few hundred notes down because of a jackass. Hope you get it sorted quickly so you can move on.

Ouch that is big money on insurance... I drive that stretch of road in my Zed many times & if it's where I think it is, most drivers are pretty frakked off with the queuing & pushing in. Bit late now, but that lorry looks like you're not the first...
Also, watch out for a new black BMW 5 series, it's an unmarked rozza that patrols the 102M before the pipe.
