Sorry to see that mate, hope your ok. I wouldn't be surprised if they write it off. Has it bent the body frame around either of the rear doors? If you have a sunroof check to see it the roof has bent down slightly around each rear corner it.
The damage to my old one was a lower and a fair bit harder but the car that hit you was heavier (mine had a tow bar that passed the damage 18" up the chassis). I only had a broken front grill and the rear end damage when mine was wrote off at a similar age.
Hope it goes well buddy. I think it was a good idea you had a black box to front & back, very handy to have, don't know when you might be it for evidence.
Also in the video after the smack, the 5th car which was passing was a silver colour 'C', which also slowed down as it passed the scene of crash. I wonder if that was a member.
mmmm yes.... i bet he was think "wow don't these boots crumple like paper - what am i driving"
I am amazed at the damage done, give the very low speed of impact

Yep, it looks nasty buddy , hope you have gap insurance just in case???
Looks like his bumper line is slightly higher, so the boot lid most possibly took much of the impact. What was the damage like to his 4X4?
I am copying your idea and liking the black box recorder, how does it mount to the car and where did you run the connections from? I found some on ebay.
Here look, another smack down, this is a right off.

Yes i am thinking of a rear one, i had the blackvue 400hd, but had 2 fail within weeks, so got refunded and got a smarty bx1500. so now thinking of adding a rear one.
Badgx there's just a 12v supply and auto rec when the ignition comes on, or you can set them to be on permanent or impact rec.there are lots of settings, main thing disable the gps speedo
