Your opinion of the damage, is totally different to the PROFESSIONALS who assessed the damage to the car. Hence, it was classified as a CATEGORY D!
CAT D - is SUPERFICIAL damage, deemed totally safe to repair and return to road use, without even needing ANY inspection, beyond a regular MOT.
This, IS FACT.
It is very common for rare, imported, or exotic vehicles to end up as Category D, even with very minor damage, as insurance companies, do not wish to deal with prolonged hunt for parts, all the while paying out costs for hire cars etc for the IDIOT responsible.
