It depends on whether the internal structure is damaged or if it is just hood fender bonnet /wing. Vody shop if the hood is repairable I would be expecting $2500+ allowing remove hood repair and repaint, repaint fender and refit probably replace bumper as the bit torn off may not be weldable refit trims. Similar job done here 5 years ago on my mothers carwas £1500 using reconditioned second hand parts. If the inner structure is dmamaged it could run a fair bit more.
Why are you posting about a mini on a fiat forum ?
Maybe because its a 'small european car'
Perhaps some people dont follow the weekly , who bought Jaguar now?
Kind of news
Apart from the fluid leak.. it could be simple parts
No idea ..
If that was the model with headlights in the 'front hinged panel'..
Its not a conventional car

I would be very happy to get out of tat for $2500. Hopefully no frame damage so that's not bad. I bet you get estimates up to $4k or $5k. The wheel well repairs have surprised me before with cost. Get a few estimates.

I'd say the OP is one of those that will do the same regardless of anything posted here.Maybe because its a 'small european car'
"How do I fix this?", <lots of an technical replies>, "Oh I just took it to a garage because I know nothing about cars"
The washer bottle is behind that wing
If you fill up with screen wash does it run out
You need to look behind the damaged panels to where they fix to bent brackets can be bent back but there’s often more hidden damage
Also we need to know if you are willing to do some of the work yourself and does it need to look mint
UK prices approx. The mini here is a very common car
Bonnet around £70 used
Washer bottle £15 used
Wing £35 used
Here you can source the correct colour they will not need painting and bolt on parts might take a few weeks
I can see the top clip have broken of the bumper
You really need to post on a different forum.
Assuming it’s just washer liquid and you are near a city you could just drive it and get some quotes
But keep a close eye on the coolant level
