Cat D so someone thought it too expensive to repair, seems odd if it's such apparently light damage.. and that last pic, has the steering wheel airbag deployed? I wonder what else they've not mentioned. Makes me wonder if they've bought it to do up and found underlying damage, bent members etc.  As well as additional costs for airbags, srs etc.

..that is often enough for a car to be "written off "in the eyes of a number of insurance companies....no roof damage obvious,and you should be able to weld the panels using the original weld spots.....if the panels goes on straight and there is no chassis damage of course  "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool,than to speak out and remove all doubt" ?.....what rubbish...

Strange that it has been partly stripped already. Also looks in one of the pictures as if the screen is damaged. Cannot find any reference on the net to the company, I rang them with a view ti having a look at it, they are in Suffolk so s bit far to go just to be nosey. MY17 D5 1st Edition Namib Orange

front of bonnet has 2 creases that look like it goes down onto front bumper, NSR looks a lot down compared to OSR and is that how a D3 looks when on bump stops? Experience is a difficult teacher, because she gives the test first and then the lesson afterwards!!!!

IMHO definitely a low profile tyre on the OSF, probably the wheel and/ or the tyre got mangled in the accident and they've stuck that on to get it rolling again. Probably damage underneath from recovery if the wheel was wrecked, and of course the steering rack etc etc will be knackered!
