Yes, they should just die at home, out of my way.
They would probably still find a way to cause damage to your car.

Its rather clear cut over blame so you will have the option to either go through your insurance comapny and pay the excess and they claim it back off the other insurers or go through the other parties andconstantly battle over it.
Do you have an agreed valuation as they could potentially write it off can't they if it exceeds what they claim is economical repair compaired to the "market" value of the car?
This is what i was worried about but when i got my insurance they asked for the cars value and i said £3000. It isnt a fully agreed one though

Go through her insurance, don't go near your own, it doesn't matter what you have declared or what it costs.

You see I was in the same position as you, they went to write off my car but the agreed valuation was 2k more than the cost of fixing it so they fixed the wreck

You should have painted it a bright colour so people would notice it when reversing.

Make sure it goes to a decent bodyshop, some like mine at work have like a camera that you put onto the panel, and it takes a pic and works out what colour it is

Fuck her (not literally) her own fault, dont fell sorry for no one mate! I once got reversed into buy an old guy, and it actually was about same damage as yours, but not as far in, but cause i work in a bodyshop, i told him it was £250 to repair, repaired the wing myself, and with the money bought new bumpers, arch spats and gave car a full re-paint

All paints in the trade have to be water based now rather than cellulose.
Take the petrol flap off and send it to the paint manufacturers test lab
they will be able to tell you if it can be matched. Takes 10-14 days to do it though.

Did you take down the time incase you need to get CCTV footage of the accident if she tries to back out of it?
Not good though, I never even knew you had a Corsa! Just come and put a comedy sticker on it
