you have said "Part of the story is that the third party has accepted full liability and that his insurers had asked me if they can repair the vehicle, provide courtesy car etc. etc. all at no cost to myself; they also stated they didn't need the 'photographic evidence (this might change once I get back to them)."
If they have asked if they can repair the vehicle can you accept that offer? I would say on condition they do not then go on to change their mind and write it off.
can you get quotes, not estimates for repair?
Can you trace replacements for damaged parts yourself and are you able to fit them.
If you cant get correct colour what is the cost of re-spraying
glad you are ok and best of luck
