2007 C3 1.4HDI Cool Damaged - repairable or for spares

My wife's C3 was hit in the L/H side yesterday incurring damage to both doors and sill and slight scuffing to small area of rear wheel arch. I have just returned from the body shop for an estimate and await the decision of my insurers, but I doubt it will be considered economic to repair. Both doors open and close OK and the car drives and brakes dead straight, so it is basically cosmetic damage.
We bought the car new in 2007 and I have done all the servicing to schedule. It has 4 new Michelin tyres fitted 2 months ago and apart from the stated damage is in excellent condition. Mileage just 41k. Colour Arctic Steel ( silver) Fitted with Towbar - just used rarely for towing a garden trailer. Seems a real shame to scrap if thats what the insurers decide so I'm placing this notice in case a C3 enthusiast might be interested. Too early to post a price yet, but I will when I know the outcome from the insurer. My wife is very fond of the car and ideally would prefer to have it repaired and continue driving it.

Sorry to hear about the damage, I hope there were no injuries.

You are welcome to add some photos of the damaged areas, the bits that are not damaged and the whole car which can often help people understand the condition better.
