Front Bumper for a Mk5 Golf Gti

So going to work yesterday I hit a badger while doing 50-60mph, and needless to say it did some damage..

So how much am I looking at to put the car back to a sellable state, and is it worth going through insurance?

Unlucky I was on a run once and the scooby in front of me hit a huge grandad badger and it ripped out his front intercooler. I swerved and managed to get it square on between the wheels so went over the top of it, doing about the same speed as you! Guess it's a case of working out what parts you need vs your insurance excess.

A new lip spoiler, fog light and cover might not be too bad and easy to fit yourself. But it looks likes it's cracked, so could be better to get a second hand complete lower bumper. Could it be filled and sprayed?

Went to use the aircon today, but it seems the badger has wiped out that and some other plastic bits I couldn't see. Hastings Direct will be picking up the bill for this as there is no way I can afford to pay myself after recent mechanical issues

New condenser time, and possibly receiver/drier as that all sits in that corner. If it's a turbo car, get the intercooler checked too. The bumper skin itself is quite cheap.
