I would suggest taking it to a few body shops for quotes.
Without being able to closely inspect the damage it's hard to estimate.

On the cheap, knocking it back into place and not looking correct v probably a new bonnet.

Depends on the cost (related to quality) pf those doing the job.

How did you do that?

ps I am also lovely, single (when in the mood).

It doesn't look like you need a bonnet if you get the right people to fix it.

But the less able will want to put a new bonnet on and it would be quicker.

It may though be possible to find the correct colour bonnet second hand and just get that fitted.

Indeed,

A good body shop/panel beater/coachworks will be able to get that straight,
I would consider looking at breaker on the likes of ebay and getting a bonnet from there,

not sure how old the car is as the reg isnt evident, but I would certainly not entertain insurance for a collision where the other party has ran off on an older car - your insurance will rise to much to justify. bite the bullet.
