OHHH HELL!

Not worth fixing that m8.. Get the insurance money and if thay say just scrap the car (if you have space) I would break it of any saleable parts (ebay etc) and scrap the shell ....

That a w/o m8.

Some **** reversed into my cav gsi and dented the little panel under the headlight. Minimal damage!

The insurance company said it was Beyond Economical Repair (BER).

I got paid out just over £500 for it and i paid £1600 for it the day before the accident!

See here: http://www.cavweb-forums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=42262

I got it repaired tho: http://www.cavweb-forums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=42530
