Doesn't it have to go on a jig and then get inspected by....? to be aloud to go back on the road?
tbh mate that sounds like a write off. Can't you claim?

Pic of damage?

Are you on about the chassis leg itself or the bracket that is welded to it that supports the bumper?

From what you are saying you are refering to the bracket that comes out to the bumper being bent up but mistaking it for being the chassis leg.

For an old man to drive into your car and bed the chassis leg upwards he would have to be doing some.
