Insurance protection should put you back in the same position you were in pre accident (seized bushes and all). You are after betterment which is neither reasonable nor likely in a squillion years.

Contractually they are could replace/spray your panels then finish them off with stone chips, swirls marks and parking dents...

You want to be put back to the position you were in i.e. alignment within tollerance of Honda spec, the accident has caused you to be out of spec. If the only way to fix your knocked out alignment is new bushes then so be it.

It's kinda like if you have a torn up roof and you break your rear window (glass). You get a new roof because thats the only way to fix the problem. You could call that betterment, but you still get it.
