Possible to repair
Long story short and the **** show I’ve had with me and the god of Subaru, someone decided to hit and run my car lastnight.
just getting a general idea of is it possible to repair. Air bags not deployed etc somehow

I’m no expert, but that looks lost.
Looks like there’s a crease on the c pillar, and the wheel well has pushed into the door to crease that too, right? Chassis is probably bent like a banana , I would guess.

I feel for you buddy, This happened to our family car while my wife was at work. The worst thing was that it had to be someone she works with too as it a staff only car park! Shocking behaviour!
In all honesty, it looks gone to me. Like Henrik says, there looks like there's some chassis damage there and insurance will write it off. Hopefully you have insurance to cover the damage?

Difficult to tell without seeing the condition of the chassis. Won't be a cheap fix with that rear wing damage. Will 100% be an insurance write off. They'll probably let you buy it back for £600 if you have any interesting parts to put onto another car or if you want to break it and sell off the parts piece meal.

Looks like an insurance write off. It is fixable but wouldn't recommend unless you know people in the trade. It will be very expensive. You could buy the car back off the insurance company like others have suggested and reshell it.

Hopefully you insured it for all the mods and they pay out!
I'd be very surprised if they offered you any more than £5-6k though. Not trying to be a dick here but insurance companies usually look at average prices for age and mileage, condition doesn't really come in to it. Unless yours has 30k miles on the clock, then just be prepared for them to low ball you. Even though prices have gone up this year, the price you see things advertised for is rarely a selling price too.
The Parker's guide price based on average condition and mileage is around £4k. In my past experience, an insurance company will ask YOU to provide proof that it is worth more; not an easy thing to do.
Like I said, just trying to give you a heads up.

It’s gonna go through their insurance I’ve got all receipts etc, that might help, not claimed in about 20 years and that was for my 50cc bike lol. I can remember having to get ads off the net and send them though to see why I wanted the money I didn’t want for them

whatever they offer you dont have to accept their first, second or even 3rd offer if youre not happy with it and then youre within your right to prove using other cars of similar spec mileage that have sold or are for sale as a guide price that you are expecting as its value.

Thanks guys for the advice
im sending pictures to them tonight they’ve already said in phone it’s prob write off by sounds of damage.
mill keep you posted.
could do with finding a shell of some sort now to transfer the good parts into it
