I think that because it wasn't your fault the Corsa guy's insurance have to return yours to the condition it was in - it won't be written off. (Within reason obviously, if the chassis was badly bent etc thay must be able to leave it if it can't be repaired.)
If it had been your fault, your insurance may well have written it off, but I think you'll be fine.
The boot floor's designed to do that to protect the passenger compartment, it can be replaced and be as good as new. You ought to be able to choose who does the work too.
edit: Look into one of those accident management companies too, they take their money from the other party and can give you a like for like car while it gets repaired.

That's just one, plenty on Google. Costs you nothing.

Like Ad and 172cupwizard said, I think it's repairable. The boot floor isn't major structure and can be replaced. I had a little crumple in the boot floor in my clio and didn't even repair it. Rneault said it was safe. It passed two MoT's with it. If they said it wasn't safe I obviously would have had it fixed, but wasn't visble unless looking under the mat and was only minor.

see wat your saying mate but when a car ging 30-40mph without braking it gives you a good old push been on phone to the clio v6 driver his quote as £4000,buggered his exhaust systemup aswell as the rear bumper and boot...s**tter, always pays to leave a good gap to the car infront, then if you do get rear ended, you wont plough into the car infront. Because of this, you will now have a claim for the v6 driver

Sweet jesus, talk about taking a post the wrong way! I wasn't calling anyone an idiot for racing, and yes of course I've had the occasional blast - I wouldn't drive a 172 Cup otherwise!
Calm down my son! :nono:
With regard to Black Widow, glad your ok pal. Gutted about the damage but could have been alot worse.

oh nasty and so is the v6 repair bill,
I think it will get repaired when my bf's rst turbo got arse ended by a mk3 golf gti, it done the same kind of boot floor damage as yours and it needed a rear bumper and tailgate. Also needed a new full system stainless exhaust and up-rated racing fuel pump.
It all got replaced with new items and genuine ford paint for the RS colour. That was a 1989 car happened 3 years go so you should be fine with a repair job

you'd be way to f*cked up after an impact like that to throw any punches, state of shock comes to mind.i'm sorry but if someone done that to me i couldn't be as calm as you! it's a lazy mistake on his behalf! i'd be goin OFF IT!!!!! Know it never really solves anything but punches would probably have been thrown!
hope it works out ok for you and the v6 fella.
I'm absolutely gutted for ya mate, I really liked that 172...
Apoligies if I got the wrong end of the stick, but your post seemed to imply they were all being stupid racing each other.
