on a positive though you could buy it back for about ?200, spend ?100 doing it back up, get a payout from the insurance then the car will owe you naff all, like mine does lol

I had similar happen to me a few months ago when someone undertook me and then turn right accross my bow and then tried to say I was in the wrong despite him turning right from a lane marked for turning left.

He scratched the bumper and damaged the wing, quotes came in at about ?700.

In the end I got a second hand wing in the same colour for ?25 and fitted it myself, I was changing the headlights and removing the resonator box anyway so it was no really hardship.

Anyway, my point is the ?700 quotes on a car worth little more than ?1000, as you have more damage you may well be looking at a write off so I'd consider buying back and repairing it yourself.

Glad your OK, pity about the car but buy it back and get it sorted.

Could do without all the hassle though.

buy it back, fix it up, sell it, use the money and the payout to buy a better zed
Sorry to hear about this though.
