Tom or someone in the know;
What other likely damage is there to this aside from the obvious front and rear bumpers and sideskirts

Can't replace bumpers or sideskirts as far as I'm aware.
That will be 2 new clams.

looks like theres a join line from the 1/4 panels. I thought clamshell might be the case, but this line made me wonder

yep two new clams, they are all one piece, although to save money you can buy another damaged clam (cheaper) and cut out the section you need and fibreglass it in, the sill is a seperate item which is bonded to the chassis

Lesson to all VX220 owners if you smash it up make sure you pick up all the bits and put them in the boot!

To be honest, looking at that it wouldn't be overly difficult to re-tool it, pop the clams back into the new tool and lay up in way of the damage possible.
Is there likely to be structural damage to the chassis or is the damage relatively light?
