Will the panel shop / insurance company let me have the damaged front bumper? The bumper is only slightly damaged. I could use the fog inserts as spares.

I asked them(panelbeater) they gave me some rubbish story, that it belongs to the insurance co and they're not allowed to give it to me - should have took out the fog inserts as I have heard they come out often.
