I stopped. BT van didn't.
Barely owned the car a week.
Admiral, the insurer were very helpful over the phone.

Bumper, boot, light, exhaust.
They might even right it off depending on part prices, and how old/value.

Parts prices and paint along with the labour will seal it's fate sadly.
Opportunity to buy it back and repair with used parts maybe if the car is as nice as it looks that's what I would be doing.
Good Luck.
Having been through this twice in the last year, my understanding is that superficial damage that doesn’t affect the integrity of the car (but in the eyes of insurance remains ‘uneconomical to repair’, the car is written off, bought back by the owner) is then classified as Cat N?Ah, that’s gutting. So sorry to see this.
No doubt you will have her fit again just need to lean on the assessor not to write her off. Take a cash settlement and no Cat and it can be fixed economically.
