Well that's mine written off.
 

Some idiot pulled out from a junction, didn't look hit another woman in the side of her car and the hit my car with the momentum.

Well that's mine written off.
 

Wow that didn't last long. Doesn't look that bad.

That's not a write off, I wouldn't even bother with the insurance for that.

Wrong colour, but back on the road for £140

The lad needs to go through his insurance as he had a hire car and totally ruined that.
And the other ladies car was damaged quite a lot.
So it'll have to as that all needs sorted and hopefully they won't but they like to write ours off for very little.

Insurance companies would still prefer to spend as little as possible, and if that means settling for satisfactory 2nd hand parts then they'll take the common-sense approach (especially if someone else has already been clever enough to source them on their behalf).
Just a thought but when I got my car it had no front bumper on it. I bought an XPG one from a trader who is no longer on this site and had it sprayed. That was nearly 2 years ago and it's peeling a bit around the edges to reveal the original paint underneath.
There's probably good paint still under there.
I wouldn't mind that one that Pete found as my car is Firefrost (CEV). If you want a chat about going halves on it and then having mine, PM me.

Plus prep and spraying, new headlamp and a wheel refurb. Can see why it would be written off.

Unfortunate mate, guess you hadn't even tried the grill yet!

Could use my mk1 xpg to do a retro conversion!!

Gutted for you. Hope it all gets sorted to your satisfaction.

What a pi$$er. :(

So you need a bumper, headlight and a wheel? Is the wing ok?

Its a certainty that it'll be written off. Please do buy it back though and don't let it be scrapped for such a minor amount of damage... :)
