Default KA AIRBAG

i recently crashed my car, it wasn't severe by any means (cracked battery tray, smashed bumper and a knackerd radiator) the problem is the airbag went off.

i am planning on buying used parts so a new airbag from a scrappy or ebay

my question is what other parts will need replacing when i come to sort the airbag system out

i've trawled the internet looking for answers and so far have found very little

my thoughts are new control module, new crash sensor(not sure where this is located) and a new clockspring (if it is damaged)

can anyone give me any help on this?

my car is a 2000 w reg ka collection 1.3

(i have posted this thread in two places sorry)

the ecu should be ok as they usaully have a 3 crash life before they need replacing.

I'm not sure of the airbag ecu at all, but clock spring will be ok.
