Tell them that you want a respray all over to ensure a colour match and then it will be a write off coz that will bump the price up. Then buy the car back, and get it done cheaper, get all the kit yourself shopping around and all, save a lot of dollar and then put what you have left into modding it.

it wont have to be a Q plate. It will just be down as an uneconomical repair.
Someone went up the back of my nova, was quoted £1400 to repair. They valued the car at £1200 pre accident and £75 post accident. So they gave me the car back with £1125. I then sent them £3k worth of receipts which meant it was no longer a write off. I got it fixed for £300. Made a nice profit
