    Default Front end damage, how much for repair?

    Hey guys,
    sorry not sure if in right section but anywho ...

    My dad has just been in an accident, he is ok and all, but the car isn't.
    It is going to be my car soon, and i'm unsure on what happened, i think someone hit my dad on a roundabout.

    The car is a 2002 commodore executive silver.

    I was just wondering if anyone could give me a rough price on how much it would be to replace
    front bumper,
    left hand headlight,
    left hand quarter panel
    and also respraying the parts aswell (including bonnet as it has small scratch).

    Everything mentioned looks beyond repair, except for the quarter which just has a big dint and scratch.
    The car still drives and it doesnt seem like anything mechanically has been effected, mostly just the body.

    I really don't know but just having a guess, something around 2 grand?

    here are the pics, i couldn't get any from inside the engine bay etc as the bonnet wouldn't even open.

    Depends a lot on if you get brand new or 2nd hand parts.

    Take it to a few repair shops and get quotes, make sure you tell them it's not an insurance job, because the price magically halves then. I'd expect less than $2k assuming no major structural damage.

    thanks, yeh I still have to find out who is paying for it, I think It was the others peoples fault, but was just checking incase it wasnt.

    that's a fair price for parts, just hoping theirs not much serious damage under it, like structually, but seems ok.

    haha somehow it will drop, thanks ill keep that advice in mind.
    less then 2k is what im hoping, probably just second hand parts if we can find them.
    I don't think theirs any structural damage, but will have to get that checked,
