Default Accident Damage Help

Good afternoon all,

Well, it's not a good afternoon for me.... while I was eating my lunch at home a bus hit my car damaging o/s/f wing, alloy & ripped the bumper from the car. There maybe more damage that I haven't seen yet.
Fortunately, the driver left his details so I'll be claiming from their insurance on Monday. My fear is that this will result in a write off. Obviously I will fight this, I have spent far too much money on it in the past few months having the rot in the rear sills cut out & replaced - I had only just had the tracking done yesterday & was supposed to be having a stainless steel back box making up & fitted on Thursday!! - let alone in the years I have had the car to let them write it off.
Hopefully I can secure a payout so I can rectify the damage. To that end I am now on the hunt for replacement parts. If anyone can help with the below list I'll be forever in your debt;

o/s/f wing (maybe nearside too as there is rust coming through on mine)
Mk 1 bumper
Chrome grill
One Union alloy
Diesel undertray
Mk 1 projector headlight

I've still to check properly so I may have to add to the list.

Many thanks for whatever you are able to do, or simply for your support,

Rob
