    Without looking at the car in a professional capacity, no one here can tell you what the damage is or how much to fix it.

    Best to take it to a crash repairer to get a quote then decide if you want to claim on insurance.

    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
