Questions on Diminished Values Claim

Long story short, the Boxster was damaged by a very-inattentive teenager who decided to throw her SUV into reverse at a red light (side road waiting to turn left onto main road, at night) to make a U-turn.

So far the repair is over $3k, new hood, latch, striker, crest, paint blend, and frunk bulkhead (where latch bolts on) pulled back into shape.

Seeing how my Box hadn't had bodywork done to it previously, no repaired/replaced panels, and no Carfax/Autocheck hits... how do I go about filing a diminished values claim? The car just ticked 110k on it, maintenance is up-to-date (save for the rear track arms), and even the body shop guys were full of compliments (not that it means anything).

I'm wondering if I should pursue that (since my car isn't really "the same" afterward) or not bother since the age/mileage of it. Thanks guys.
