Yes, its the Dynamic, auto, leather, keyless entry. I think the Insurance paid out £16000, I got it for £6500 |

The damage is light, but will need a new wing, bumper and grill repairing. Also some dame to radiator and intercooler. So when all the parts are added up and you include labour, the costs start increasing. If you do the work yourself and use 2nd hand parts you can save quite a lot of money. |

If your own labour is free so to speak then why not. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

Sounds like you have dropped on to a decent car which can be repaired fairly easy. please do keep us informed with the progress and maybe with photos |

Repair progress so far. Although the damage was light, lots of the parts are plastic and break quite easily. The only damage to the car frame was the headlight mount bent down and the bracket that holds the rad assembly was also bent. Both were quite easy to straighten. Couple of annoying bits of damage were the A/C electrical plug breaking off and the alternator rear plastic cover breaking.

While you've got the cooling pack off, you might as well change the oil and filter as its a doddle to access ATM
