Bonnet slammed up when driving...

[PlasticMonster]

As title, my bonnet came up (my fault.. I think ..for not closing it properly) and has creased the two side bits close to the windscreen and broke the strut where the lifting piston attaches to the car.

What does anyone think the cheapest/most appropriate fix is, thinking it cant be repaired so new bonnet and respray to match it in?

Found this on ebay, has anyone else used them?  Seems abit of a bargain hence my concern.
