Boot lid and bumper bolt on so no issue there really, but the rear wing, that will never be the same obviously, but coud be made road worthy. ...with a big hammer. Or cut out a good wing and Weald it in to replace the battered bit. But your talking cash then. :(

Insurer doesnt necessarily need to know, or buy back the write off as said. You'll get the wreck and a cheque to the value of the car, less the scrap value.

I believe Robsy replaced a rear wing on an Estate. Guessing the saloon is a bit less involved.

Sorry to see this though Kai. Best of luck with it, what ever you do.

Changing the rear quarter panel is straight forward enough :y Rob went overboard because he cut the whole rear wing out, inner and outer ::) just undo the spot welds and pull the outer off, straighten the inner, boot floor/rear panel can be assessed with the bumper off. Replace bootlid then straighten inner wing and go from there... simples :y
