I think have a Spare brand New Passenger side Headlight (standard) lying around somewhere if thats any help?
Also how dirty is your Car 
I might 'borrow' the ones from my sri until my replacements come very kind of you to offer though 
Very dirty left it at my dad's last night so he could look at it today, and the alleyway down to his yard is stupidly dusty couple with the rain et voila! Was going to wash it when i got home before that happened.

Good news is that's all the damage Only thing about the bonnet is there are two layers of metal underneath so would be hard to push the dent back out. Main thing that stands out is the Eyebrow on oneside might just get new head lights and leave it as is until after PVS, as i don't have the money to get a BB bonnet

Guess what fro? still haven't been to bed
You may be able to pull the dent back out of the bonnet as it doesn't look too bad really, it hasn't creased so it may pull out using a sucker tool.

just replace the head light and it will be fine mate, the bonnet doesnt look visibly goosed in the pictures, as long as it shuts ok!

Going by the damage its quite mininmal, the bumper hasnt been fucked and the bonnet didnt crumple like a packet of crisps! could of been alot worse remember!

Well, same happened to me last year, very little damage (not even noticeable). Phoned my insurance and explained. They asked me whether my car was damaged and I wanted to claim. I said no...(only 2 small dents) and they said they will deal with the other party. I didnt have to do anything...I didn't lose my no claims

Phone up your insurance and explain imo....and explain that cops were on the site and what was said. Was there any formal statement written?

Very true, bloody vaux on vaux if that bumper would have got broken i would have cried Still want a reiger one though so it might have forced me to get one
Abdus - if he does claim etc then i could say there is nothing wrong with mine but its just his whiplash bollocks I'm worried about. but maybe that would get thrown out if there was no damage to my car as it wouldnt look like I hit him hard enough to get whiplash (even though it was never hard enough for that anyway.
He lives literally 2 mins from my house how random.

No statements or anything the coppers said they wouldn't investigate it as it's a waste of time and they did not believe his whiplash bollocks.

it doesn't matter how much he claims....as long as you don't claim for you and your car...excess is applicable when you claim for you

His boot floor might have gone in a little bit as that's the only thing i can think of that dented my bonnet. but his boot opens and closes fine etc
the workshops a nice thought
