Looks more like, bumper, bumper grilles, headlight (if a clip is broken then insurance will replace it) fog light, bonnet, headlight to bumper trim, grille, bonnet to grille trim, bumper to wing mountings, possibly slam panel and bonnet catch and you mention wing.

Id say over £1k of parts, dont reckon the insurance company would see much chance from £2k for complete repair.

Bad luck anyway mate

Someone said that Ford will exchange it for a new one, is this still right?

Doesnt look that bad one of the good things with these ford bumpers is they come painted new so that will save on loads of labour.

Hope it gets sorted ok! If those 2 clips on the bottom of the headlight are anything like on my pre-facelift, they break if you do so much as fart next to them, but they do remove so you can just get a new clip for it and refit it to the headlight!
