-do you best to notice and write down any blemishes and damaged parts. Your wheel could be misaligned for exemple ($$), just say it pulls to the left, a steering wobble... whatever...
-get it inspected by the insurance and give "your" report of the damages to the guy doing it.
-Categorically refuse the first numbers the insurance company will give you
-Ask to "manage" the repairs yourself
-Then do what you need to do to put the car back in shape, managing your costs.
Only tips I can give you.

I had to do this one time on another car I ended up having the adjuster come over and he said it was an xxxxx amount to have it fixed and when he gave me the check my lawyer made me put on the back of the check something that way this is not the final # personally I think I will probably buy oem parts of other members already painted and then go to palace and have them install it. And then Ill have to worry about the deminishing value battle
