Never mind. it is certainly fixable, but if you go through insurance then i expect they will write it off :(

 

To be honest with you hitting a fox at speed would have probaly done damage anyway ;)

 

Contact jezzybabes, (if you decide to fix yourself) im sure he has the parts you need to fix it up.

 

Good luck fella.

Cheers guys, personally I'm fine, no injuries here which is the main thing... It was a sign I went through that managed to do all that, but looking at it today I'm really thinking it's looking worse that it is, it's missed the chassis arms, even the impact bar's OK, so I'm hoping it's a wing, bonnet and slam panel style fix...

 

Geneb - You're a star mate, if I need them I'll certainly give you a shout... :)

oh bugger, sorry to see this :(

 

If your chassis leg isn't touched and the inner wing are okay then it's pretty superficial (though will probably still cost ~£1.5k to repair).

 

I'd be careful with your insurance company, it might seem madness but they might try to write it off if they get a quote for repair from Toyota, or their "preffered" bodyshop (which will more than likely go to Toyota anyway).

I've just got all of the smashed bits off now, obviously I've kept the bonnet on for a touch of security lol... I think it looks a lot better than it previously did so hopefully I'm not looking at an earth shattering amount of ££ :) - I'm going to be going through the non-insurance route, sourcing as many parts as I can and doing as much as I can, but obviously it'll be going into a bodyshop for at least the welding...

Sorry to see this mate, amazing just how much these cars crunch up from an impact but that is what they are designed to do to keep us safe. Although when my crash happened I would have gladly taken a broken bone or two instead of the damage to the car. ;)
