Those bits are fine but that radius arm is v expensive if it’s not genuine. Minispares do them for £40 IIRC.

Don’t suppose you would post up a pic? My car also has wheel alignment issues

How do you know the 'frame is bent?

Would post a few pics but got none,
basically managed to get it home after the inncodent luckly no other cars involved!
Put it straight into garage for them to have a look at and called me up to let me know..
So yeah Bent radius arm (i allready guess that as my wheel was like this.. "" lol) and bent subframe, but not going through them as can’t be bothered with labour charges.

It was 60mph backwards/sideways into the curb on a national so not surprised if frame is bent myself,
I’ll check out mini spares cheers

check out the forsales and such like, you may find a complete rear subframe and arms which you could just drop on and go…
