Crashed Tam, advice needed on how to go about repair.
Discussion
Crashed into armco spinning, pretty smashed up bodywork but no obvious chassis damage. Broken off front near side (broken upto and including front light), damaged fibreglass all along side and broken rear nearside corner and smashed splitter, 2 broken spiders. Engine started first time and drove from recovery vehicle onto my drive.
First question, as I am still waiting for insurance assessment, is this amount of damage likely to result in car being written off?
If damage is only bodywork, how easy is it to get replaced? Any suggestions of where I should direct insurance company for repairs as while I was sitting by the side of the road after the accident they were asking me where I think they should look to get repairs done (no approved repairer requirements). Cambridgeshire area.
What else should I be looking out for?
Many thanks for any help.

Thank you all again for your advice, Chris Brown is giving first estimate and Mat Smith looking at mechanicals locally. Insurance assessor has used both on his own Tvrs before which to me is a good thing. Next step is to see what they say and what they find when they look at it closer next week. Thanks again for the help.
