Is the boot creased? I don't know alot but I'd imagine that to be a costly repair especially given the crease in the rear panel.
Have you got witnesses and alike. No doubt the guy will try and say it was your fault in some way.
And sorry to hear/see this.
I'd return the car to standard and make what money you can before the insurance co' collect the car.

its 2004, the boot is creased a tiny bit but not much at all, ive got a police witness who nearly smashed into us , she was off duty, they fella who crashed into us was a arsehole, no air bags went off at all either but i think its a write off i am sure it would cost too much, the alloys are indeed 16" mate
At least you have a witness statement and from a Policeman.
I'd start thinking about what you want to do. No point in buying it back off the insurance as it's going to be an expensive fix and I don't think you'll ever shift it in the future
Make sure you get a good settlement figure and start looking for something else.

yeah good thing i have a witness and the witness nearly crashed into us too, my head neck and back are totally killing me
so do you all reckon theres no hope for it?
if its a write off i wont be buying it back i guess its to much hassel, its weird though because the gearbox went the other day, well when i say went , it wont go into second gear, plus i needed a new exhaust.
I just hope i dont get offered something ridiculous, its 2004 with 76k on the clock , any rough ideas of what i can hope for? or do i really not want to know

what a shitter, everyone in the car ok i presume?
I'm sure gALLY will see this thread and offer some advice.
What I did for my old 172 was research all models of same age and spec and come to a mean figure of the models currently for sale. I also omitted some of the cheapest ones to raise the average. I managed to get £4,200 for my 172 which I was happy with.

4000-4500 with those miles, i would say.

Dont listen to the crap about "never accept the first offer" as they may just tell you to wing it and see you in court. Could fail.
As said, do your research, get some print offs/cutting to the proper value.
You got a solicitor/hire car sorted yet?

That'll be a write off sorry to say. The back end will be twisted judging by the big crease in the rear quarter and where the rear wheel is sitting in relation to the wheel arch. Make sure you get a doctors report for whiplash etc. I'd start looking around for another car.

Back wheel may just be the stub axle but doubtful, but when I had my 1/4 panel hit the bodyshop was something like £1500 to replace and spray. You'd have to pull the boot floor and align, fix back axle, new rear bumper and bootlid, probably around 2500-3000 to fix it?!
Maybe bootlid is fine. Hard to see from the angle! Hard to say if it'll be wrote!

It will be a write off under insurance easily. Whatever they offer you for the car dont take it as they always try a low offer first and they should instantly offer you more, if not they will ask you to provide proof of cars like yours being sold ( private sales only ) to show the worth of your car so start checking auto trader and see what price they are going for.
The whiplash you can deal with 2 ways, either see a doctor, then the third party's insurance company will ask you to see a doctor they appoint for a full report and it will go on that way roughly just over a year.
or you can get a pre med settlement which means they will just go on what your doctor has said. It wont be as much as the long winded way but if you want money sooner to help get the new car its probably easyier option and less hassle for you.
also your entitled to get a like for like replacement car so if they offer you a 1.1 saxo or something dont take it or ask for cash for the difference. ALso keep any recipts for taxi's etc in the meantime everything is claimable!!
any other problems just ask as i work in motor claims so i know all the in's and outs lol.
