That's fixable mate first thing would be to price it up yourself.
it's only a write off if goes over a set % of the cars value.

That's more impressive than my deer. Until you get the bumper off and everything stripped you'll never the full extent of the damage. As you've mentioned above all 3 rads, bumper, lower grille is a definite. I'd estimate about £600 if you can get a bumper in the right colour.

i have the fogs for £30 so find out the price for the fog housing and the above indicators will go for a £1
and bumper from rusty but you will need the two side bumper fixings as well for the face lift
as the pre face lift is different

Ouch, I hit his mate a few months back. All I got was the offside bumper popped out, that was it. Hit the dude at about 35 with a massive bang too.
The thing I was most annoyed about was he run off into the darkness before I got his insurance details!

I'd me amazed if that's a write off. My bosses son hit a deer in his GTC at 50mph and took out his bumper, bonnet and rads and was fixed via insurance. When I hit my deer it cost approx £1500 using new parts

Lewis you should be able to get most of the parts of ebay etc which will bring the cost down, like that rad only £70-80 brand new you looking at almost £200 from Vauxhall.

just my opinion but surly any noise would startle a deer
the best option would just be to slow down in known deer spots and be extra vigilante
