Headlamp housing is well and truly bent. That will need a new one welding in.

The pictures make it look a lot worse than it actually is, most of the stuff can be bought from a scrapyard nice and cheep, radiator ill buy brand new and my fan was f****d anyway so i need a new one of those. i have my original lights for now until i find some new angel eyes. so it all seems good, it will just be the cost of labour i think.... Thanks for everyone comments and their concern

This!
Take it as a lesson learnt how stupid you can be, listerning to the radio isent more important than whats going on around you and luckily you and the other people involved were ok.

How much would another 206 cost? Surely a car that's at the end of it's life but still on the road might cost less to buy to salvage parts from than the cost of all those different parts?
You can get GTi's for £500 sometimes so cant see why a basic 206 would cost any more.

Bonnet? Front frame? Possible jigging?
To me it looks like the inner wing may be slightly bent too.
Ask a garage to come and give you an estimate, then you can have an expert give it the once over and tell you what is needed rather than just guessing.

Looks quite bad mate, I'd make sure that the chassis is 100% sound before even thinking of repair work, because as we all know the metal peugeot use is soft as s**t and any damage underneath even thought it may not be visible will be weak and wouldn't stand a chance in a accident later down the line.
Anyway all the best with getting it back on the road pal

As everyone said hope you're okay. My first crash i was lucky to be alive after only passing a few months and going too fast, i hope you learn from your mistakes from this crash too. Looks like a new 206 is needed to me though unless you know someone in the trade?

Glad you are ok... and a damn shame...
But that will have definately done for the chassis leg. No question. Unless you have a good mate who can pull this for you, I would not bother. As nasty and un "green" to do so, I would cut your losses, sell it for parts and get another...
