Back 12 years or so I hit the rear end of a truck. Blinded by sun and hit glare ice. Not a bit of damage to his bumper. I got out of the car and said to myself...probably $3-4k. Took it to a high end shop. Driveable. They stopped estimating at $26k and insurance totaled the car. I took my upgrades off and substituted my stock parts before that was final.
Because of the potential for future liability, if your case is like mine the body shop would do this sort of stuff.
The car need to be inspected for how true all the suspension mounting points are. Laser measurement or compared to a jig that Porsche provides. Then all the rear suspension parts need to be inspected and possibly replaced. That wheel got hit and maybe pressed in displacing the whole suspension and potentially the engine/trans. Only then do you worry about the body work.
Did mine get parted out or fixed in some low labor market? I never checked.
