won't that buff out?
i expect they will be using new parts and a proper spray job, if you could pick up a cheap silver one it might take the sting out of the tail!!
all the silver ones on ebay: http://motors.shop.ebay.co.uk/items/Cars__W0QQManufacturer946977f1ZVauxhallOpel718bd260QQModel4710b09ZOmega48c5541QQModelYearf0c65f14Z20021774c0Q7c20011774bfQ7c20001774beQ7c1999172348Q7c1998172347QQColour78a3a9ecZSilver939cbf2dQQ_dmptZAutomobilesQ5fUKQQ_flnZ1QQ_mdoZCarsQ2dPartsQ2dVehiclesQQ_pcatsZ9800QQ_sacatZ9801QQ_ssovZ1QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em282
this is a bargain on AT http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/www/cars/VAUXHALL+OMEGA/Ne-2-4-5-6-7-8-27-44-49-53-61-64-67-103-133-146-236,N-13-207-240-4294966436-4294966969/advert.action?R=200903326850727&distance=145&postcode=s62+5nd&channel=CARS&make=VAUXHALL&model=OMEGA&min_pr=&max_pr=2000&max_mileage=&vehicleYearOfManufacture=2001&vehicleRegLetter=X
in fact there are quite a few cheapies on autotrader!! and you can also swap the parts that might be better than yrs or sell em on fleebay! probably make a profit or break even when you've done!!!

From what I can see of that I'm afraid it will need more than those parts! :o :o :o :o
The chassis, or at least the front part of it will probably requiring straightening. ::) ::)
My 1996 Elite had what looked like minor damage, at least compared to that, when I ran into a trailer at about 10 mph on a roundabout in 2002. It cost well over £1800 then to repair as various chassis members had to be replaced or straightened, along with new bumper and headlight! :'( :'(
