This damage is exactly the same as mine and mine was also on a round about.(must be a ZT thing).The insurance did not fix it but paid me out and did not put it as a write off which was great.I came out of it ok the car now costs me nothing.Its in the paint shop at the minute.I get her back tomorrow.
But going to spend the weekend pulling the gear box out to do the slave cylinder

I agree it will be an easy repair with second hand parts but insurance companies do not use second hand parts so if they can not buy new they will not repair it so it will probably be the same situation as Brabus.

Mine was worse than that after hitting a badger last year. New bumper new rad and some aircon pipes and it was repaired no hint of a write off. Oh and I got a C1 as well.

WHY would you even make a claim for this when you could get a replacement bumper for less than £200?
Im totally bemused by this. Not only have you paid a £350 excess which is MORE than a cost of a replacement bumper, but you now have an accident declared on your policy, which is going to raise the price of your insurance for years to come. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. EDIT:- I see that it was agreed that it was your fault?... Did you try and make an offer with the other party for his repairs? Tbh if he was in the wrong lane and was veering over fast enough to smack your car, then how can it be your fault? Are you not tempted to argue this one?
