Until one can determine exactly what parts are damaged, one cannot give a quote.
I appreciate you want instant answers as you are upset, but appreciate what you are asking is not easy without determining exact damage etc.
First thing tomorrow morning head to your local crash repairer, find out exactly what needs replacing and go from there.
If you have smashed a rim then chances are you have more damage then you think, isn't the reason you have full comprehensive insurance for situations like you have now, if it was only a couple of panel's probably worth not going through insurance.
pictures would help also
I went to my mechanic and because he was busy he just had a quick look under the car, but yer a front bumper, gearbox mount or crossbar whatever its called, and ill prob get the rest banged out by a panel beater
Maybe overexagerated on smashed rim but certainly been hit by a rock and has dinted the stocky
alloy
Night here ill get some pics tomorow morning
Itll buff out
What you mean by buff out?? ( I don't know much about cars)
