If that's called "written off", what do they call this? Because two different panel beaters told me that this is "repairable".
Probably because I didn't crack any lights...

Find a fender from a pick & pull with original paint in the same color (about $35 local to me) and it will be like the damage was never there. They only difference will be the little VIN sticker hidden by the door hinges, but only you'll know that.
Post some pictures of the damage for further analysis from the panel of experts.

The point is: Insurance are bastards!
I've taken my W123 off insurance simply because replacing her will cost me less than fighting them.
