BYD Sealion 7 airbag opened after accident

Hi, I'm looking to buy a BYD Sealion 7. It's slightly damaged. The headlight is broken, the bumper is scratched, and the fender is damaged. It also has damaged driver and passenger airbags. I repair cars, but I know how to replace combustion engines, and I know how to replace these parts. Can you tell me if the car will still function after replacing the airbags, or do I need to replace the battery? Do I need to clear the error codes? Thanks for all the suggestions. Best regards. https://preview.redd.it/hsz46y26crfg1.jpg?width=2040&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fe51e6d7737f283f4793c917cdd404ff06e6075d

>I repair cars, but I know how to replace combustion engines, Do you know how to assess structural damage, and diagnose and repair EV's ? If not I would leave it.

I spoke to a mechanic about what's involved switching over to EV repair. (In Australia) He said that the high voltage work requires very specialised tools and training. It's actually dangerous due to the power involved. Other shops said pretty much the same thing.

Please take it to a professional. EV Battery voltage is not to be played with by amateurs. The battery itself is likely fine, as they are very strong, but this is not a DIY friendly area.
