Hi all,

Long story short, my beloved 2009 jaguar XF only a week after a new 12 month advisory free MOT has been in an accident, one entirely my own fault. I reversed off my drive on a hurry and hit another cars rear passenger door. I'm a tool. I've admitted fault etc and reported to insurance and I'm awaiting the body shop calling. My worry is that they may want to write the car off, it's the passenger side rear bumper with tiny bit of damage to rear light and rear panel. I really don't want it to be written off I want it repaired as I love the car and intend keeping it as long as I can. I've attached some pics, what do you think?

Bad luck! We've all been there where more luck than judgement has avoided a knock which would have been entirely down to us. Don't knock yourself out over it. Show me someone who hasn't made a mistake and I'll show you a liar.
As for the damage; well, it looks very minor from your photos. (I think the bumper would just knock/push back into place. Have you tried it?). No way would that be considered a write-off.
