i can help you.
ask your mum to call me, i'm the mechanic in charge of repairing your car, a prepared answer would be

" the bump has gone into the car like a dominoes effect, there is a fair depression and stress on the metals, as you know all the front is aluminium Mrs L,
and we have to cut the whole front end off and stick another one on, better you sell this car +the new model will come out and it will be worth jackshit, buy a new car now,.....blah blah blah....
i have heard the Nissans are more reliable and cheap to repair nowadays, i think there's a luxury model called a GTR -stands for 'Good times relaxation' "

Ferodo DS-2500 Brake - Over 3K

I changed to 545 brake kit but use OEM pads only, luckily saved my life few time before
