hopefully it will get sorted without too many problems, but if it's been bent, and hitting a wall dead on does tend to do this sort of thing, then it might still be possibly to jig it back into place, but i'd personally, much rather get another straight shell and start again

we shall see, fingers crossed
You just can't write a shell off thats been hit like this without good reason. If they are concerned when they jig it, then fair enough, but at this stage it certainly just looks like the damage is restricted to the extremeties of the shell and replacing these parts is not considered to be much of a problem to a proper bodyshop.

Remember in many circles of motor racing, they just bash the panels out with a hammer and get on with it. We certainly aren't doing that.
