Being in the situation you are I guess the max amount I'd be willing to settle for cash would be whatever my excess is on my policy and how much my no claims is worth to me. Not sure what the excess is on your policy, but mine is £250, so for a broken light cluster and a paint chip I'd prob offer him £200 but go upto £300-400 if he didn't except, as I have 2yrs no claims which I wouldn't want to loose.
Agree with Jonboy, in his position with a claim already in progress he may just be looking for some extra cash so you may be able to offer him less, personally with the cost of my excess I'd offer him the £200 min.
Hope this helps.
Cheers
