Question on Auto insurance paid repairs?

I have a 2005 Honda Accord that was in an accident. I have Geico insurance and was contacted by the Insurance claims adjuster with an estimate. The adjuster wants to repair my damaged fender instead of replacing my fender. The damage is minor but I want my care restored with comparable parts and believe that a bondo repair would comprimise the value of my vehicle. I am having trouble determining my rights in regard to this issue. Any recommendations on how to proceed? And what is the language in the policy that would indicate that they can use bondo vs a new panel.

1. This was predetermined when you bought the insurance if you wanted new panel you should have paid for when you bought the insurance. tell your adjuster you will pay difference for a new panel.
