A light scrape across the front of my car, it broke my headlamp/foglamp, broke the plastic slampanel, bent the little nose on the bonnet, put a very very slight ripple in the wing

most of the damage was due to plastic bits being used, the h/lamp "glass" is almost flexible, the grille was unmarked...

Bonnet
Headlamp
Badge/surround
Bumper
Lower intake grille
Foglamp
Wing
Paint
Labour

have a guess

just a bit more than our car a couple of weeks ago and that was £2,700. So I would say £3,400 inc VAT.

If there had been no other car involved id have sorted it, all the bits are bolt on and correct paint code items are available 2nd hand, about £750 i reckon, there was no structural damage, as it was this light (very light) scrape cost £2610 plus vat
