This, call your agent, give them a heads up, I would drive that for $2K, might even see if I could scare up a bumper cover from the wrecking yard, or clean that up and spray it. You can buy rattle cans of whatever color you can imagine. Do a couple coats, buff it out, you'd be surprised.
The folks got a check for $1200 when the super beetle got swiped. The boot for the convertible top was like $350, jack and tool kit was over $100, incidental crap for the rest, it got dinged up a bit, but at least they did not fuck up the dash, interior or the top. Dad just sent the insurance company a list of quotes, they cut the check.
Both times I got ass ended in the 'teg they sent the check to me, first time I got to pocket the price of the badge, that I did not want on there and never liked in the first place. I put it on the credit card for the frequent flyer miles, 25% of a ticket to Texas.
