Apparantly a few cars over the last year have been done in my close. Quiet village too. Some even had cat removed..  . Insurance wrote car off so decided not to claim

I'd be tempted to let the insurers write it off & buy the car back from them. Use the payout to cover the cost of a respray and you shouldn't be out of pocket.
