Unlucky dude, irrelevent of wether there car broke down or what you went in the back its your fault
it is a bitch but thats the way it goes, sometimes it goes against you , sometimes it goes in your favour!!
I would got for an R32 front seeing as you need a new one

i had a similar prang myself when someone hesitated leaving a roundabout...why i dont know, i was accelerating ready to follow suit but they hesittaed!! 
i managed to stop after crunching into their toe bar. (fortunately i was having Irmy Airdam fitted the following month!)
tough sh*t that Coiln, but fortunate its a simple fix. could have been worse...sounds like it was for the 106!!

You go to the body shop that is fixing it and wangle a deal with them, you pay the extra to have an R32 front

My dad did that with his escort years ago, he payed the £14 extra and they fitted a Ghia one or summet to his Popular.
