Why on earth was it "written off", category S????
Superficial, non structural damage, from the photos.

Written off with that small amount of damage!!!
1 mudguard.
1 exhaust.
1 front and rear cowl.
Brake discs look well rusted, replace them as well.
Maybe one wheel.
Total cost of rebuild anyone?
Ridiculous.
John.

Right front was hit hard enough to bend the control arms, so frame may be tweaked as well.

It's a 2012, so it might well need all the upgrades. Any damage to the steering, chassis or suspension could be significantly absorbed in the cost of doing that work.

If it was on the original chassis then it would not be unreasonable to expect the factory to reject any cracked chassis claims so whether or not it needs a new chassis today it will be very expensive in due course when it cracks in the normal run of things. The front cowl and the boot lid will be blindingly expensive to replace and very difficult to repair to a decent standard. Sort of could be a good basis for a rat-rod type rebuild job but not at that price, would need to be much cheaper.

It all depends on the chassis .
There looks to be chassis damage..lookIng in the cockpit it appears out of true - pulled to the right. Very suspious of that.
If it just need cosmetic repair I would guess up to £10k
With chassis mmmmm list another £10?
Needs to be sold at £12-15 max IMO .
Plus all updates etc. If not done.
