My mate can get vaux parts at trade prices, might be able to get you a quote for the parts. but your a bit of a distance away.
That body shop looks like their prices are well inflated !

If the police was involved be careful that they dont try and charge you with no insurance, do as born says and withdraw your claim and search around the breakers yards.
What parts of the car needs replacing??

its unlucky that they've voided ur insurance, its not as though ur lights are performance enhancing  , fair enough if it was an engine swap, but lights - bit harsh

Try to act dumb and say you bought the car with those bits on and thought thats what all GSi's came with, if thats why the insurance is void.

if they only replace things with standard items then you can go get them back. why pay insurance for somthing that won't payout for aftermarket items

IMHO u will be better off selling all this bits off it and make about 8-900 quid and then put it towards another one
no point fixing it as it will never be right
seats - 175
kit -250
wheels, boot, dash etc etc
ill have a few bits off u if u do split it
