Cost of repairs - VW Polo

Just had an accident. Third fault fault.

Car going into a body repair specialist. Damage very minor but as the value of the car is not that much not sure if it will get written off or not.

Damage

Rear drivers door scratched and dented. Paint has come off

Panel in between door and rear bumper scratched, dented and paint has come off.

Rear bumper severly damaged.

Id say for the bumber, they would have to replace. So how much does a Polo 2001 bumber cost. How long does it take to replace and what are approx labour charges

For the panel its on the fuel side if limited damage would they try and fix or replace?

Also for door if limited damage, would they replace?

If they were to replace all. What sort of costs do u think is associated?

    Bumper looks like its just been pulled off its clips. Damage to bodywork is minor. I'd have said no more than £500 tops.

    Got the repair cost through. A massive £1700.

    Door need moulding, panel between door and bumber needs replacing, bumper either being replaced or repaired inc clips (cant remember what they said) and tail light getting replaced.

    I mean looking at the car surely it cant be that much to repair.

    Sent to insurance company to agree to repair. But doubt it will be. Just dont want it written off. Just dont want the hassle to look for another car plus like my car as just bought it.

    Just too peed off
