Storm write off?

[triathlonstu]

Understand these things are difficult to tell from photos but long story short a tree landed on my mate's Focus RS. Damage to the A-Pillar is the only issue aside from scrapes and scratches on the bodywork which don't seem too extensive. Is this something that's likely to be a write off?

I'm not sure how cosmetic something like that could be. Windscreen isn't cracked, hoping that it's something that could potentially be repaired.

Thanks for the feedback... Assuming if it's structural it's not something that would be able to be repaired full stop?

It'd take Arthur about 20 minutes.

Cat S is quite possible. A lot may depend on what happens when the rest of that branch is removed. Wouldn't surprise me at all if there was a lot of work needed on roof/bonnet/NSF wing, maybe even doors.

Branch was removed by hand. Wasn't ridiculously heavy, but obviously fell from a considerable height. Doors etc all fine but roof and spoiler are scratched.
