What a palaver.
Note to self: Be more careful in future.
I am puzzled why the car didn’t slam the brakes on on my behalf. The car won’t let me reverse into my garage far enough without doing an emergency stop 12 inches from the wall.

Given the parts shortages and the costs involved, I'm surprised it's only 5,000 GBP tbh.
If the bonnet is only slightly dented I'd take it to the best local 'Paintless Dent removal' firm to see what they can do; sometimes they can perform 'magic'. Plus if that only costs you a couple of hundred Quid, it's not the end of the World if it doesn't work.
BTW: I also find the front and rear ends of this car to be bloody difficult to gauge accurately, and find myself relying almost 100% on the surround cameras when trying to park.
