It's a shame but insurance companies will right off a even 10 year old just for bumper damage these days. My insurance company wrote off my 2003 Mondeo because the goat had half eaten the drivers and passenger seats. They gave me 3000 euro's for it, i bought the car back from them for 400e, bought second hand seats for 150e and re-registered it and sold it for 4200 euro's.
The goats have a nice new pen now.

Thats fixable,but it will probably cost a few hundred quid.Needs a bodyshop jig to pull the boot floor back to where it should be,then replacement bootlid & bumper.

Don't now if its a shadow or not but it looks like the nearside rear quarter has a kink in it

[albitz]

Possibly but thats would easily be fixable too.I had a truck reverse into the rear quarter of my first Omega.It made a hell of a mess of it.Left it in a bodyshop in the morning,collected it in the evening and you could never tell it had been hit.
A decent bodyshop can work magic,but finding a good one which doesnt charge the earth is the hard part.

It depends. If it's been hit up the arse at an angle it may have pushed the rear end over to one side.

[albitz]

Could still be straightened and realigned on a jig.Just depends on cost.

Yeah, thats the prohibitive bit and probably not worth it on an Omega

[albitz]

Yep,unless OP has a contact in a good bodyshop who can do it as a cash job.

Boot floor has been pushed through about a foot!
:/

[albitz]

Still fixable mate.Just depends if you can get it done at a price thats worth it for you.I did my daughters old clit by attaching a strong chain to the back of the car and the other end to a forklift truck.Then gradually pulled it out.The hatch even closed properly afterwards.
Not saying it would necesarrily do a proper job on your car though.

Well I am sure that the next person to take it from the scrapyard will give it a good go

Will post photos of the new one at the end of the week
