A new non-genuine complete headlight and indicator assembly should cost u around the $50 mark from carsRus which is a sponsor of JC. Not sure about the bonnet coz if u get urs fixed or get another one it's gonna need paint, which will not be very cheap. And if the fender needs fixing too well they might just class the car as an economic write off (the ol' girls aren't worth much these days).
Is it really worth trying to get the insurance company to pay?....u should just get in contact with the guy who smashed it, and see if he'll pay for ur new headlight and indicator, coz it's prolly gonna work out cheaper him paying for that then his excess (if he has one) to get it all fixed. If u do get the bonnet (and fender if required) painted it's gonna look like poo coz you'll have a shiny bonnet and faded paint everywhere else. Maybe see if he'll also pay for the paint to have it painted, then just rub the whole car back and spray the whole thing urself.
Dunno tho it's up to you.
The pic below is the results to the old PEAKN6 after a van overtook us on the left (only 2 lane road, one each way), and as he come back in front he clipped the front. If we took him to court he prolly would of been up **** creek without a paddle coz he just got out of his van, said it was our fault then got back in and left without giving us his details. He said we hit him from behind, even tho the damage says otherwise lol....it's been hit from the side, not the front....bloody knob head.
Anyways here's the pic.....and I got 2 quotes, both around the $1200 mark.
The damage was caused by the bullbar thing on the back of his van. Turns out it wasn't even his van, it was a company van.
