They will definatly write the car off on the year unless it was a Ferrari. Do the big haggle on valuation by rejecting the first two offers of half a bag of crisps then the half a bag of crisps and a Mars bar. Obtain the replacement parts yourself and get the fitted and/or painted by the body man you know and trust. Once done, you will have to contact DVLA to book a VIC check. Do not let the car be taken away by the insurance company or surrender the log book. Haggle, haggle. pester and haggle them over and over until they get fed up and you may get a settlement before Christmas and some where near your own figure. My own experiance took 4 1/2 years from incident to payout and they still stiffed me despite me complying with all there criteria
