Bonnet damage: update
The body shop has confirmed that the bonnet is beyond repair, so have submitted a quote to replace the bonnet and front grilles, and straighten the metal panel in front of the top of the radiator. The labour comes to £360, the paint and materials £155, and of course the parts need buying as well. I have sent the quote to my insurance company and I await their decision.
Oh no!
My car got hit on the way home from work this evening! Early indications are that I definitely need a new grille, and more than likely a new bonnet. I will know better when I see it in the light tomorrow morning.

Gear selector switch replacement
I carried out this repair ages ago. Although you could still select reverse (and all the other gears), my reversing lights didn’t work, and my passenger side rear view mirror didn’t dip.
