Rear bumper, and crash bar... Shouldn't be overly expensive... No point in getting a new car, cos you'll get no money for that one in that state.

Claim off your mate for driving too close, and not watching the car in front? He should have been travelling far enough behind to judge your braking, and be able to adjust his speed accordingly...

As an addition, I would have hit the rabbit aswell......had one run under the car on the motorway, didn't even attempt to swerve at 70mph because it could have hurt so just straight-lined it, heard the rabbit's head bounce a few times off the underside of the car.
