Sounds like your Dad didn't go to the right garage. If the repair was that cheap, then it would never have been a write off,

 

Insurance co (very rough figures)

 

New bumper: £500

New bonnet £500

plastics £400

odd clips etc: £100

2 new lights: £1000

labour: £1000

paint: £1000

undertray/arch liners: £500

 

total: ~£5k

 

 

Dad's costs (again rough)

 

bonnet, bumper, bits of plastic: £400

lights: £100

 

Weekend's work : £0

 

And a nice big cheque from the ins co.

 

 

As docwra says, OEM parts are very dear and you're paying for someone to do the work too
