Kev, sorry to tell you but it will almost certainly get written off due to age. Howard and Basford (Ellesmere Port) or Lookers bodyshop (which is on Deeside Industrial Park somewhere) probably your best bet mate.

I used to work for Howard Basford, the will charge for a Quote (usually), and it will be subtracted from the bill if the work is carried out there.

Looking at it though, the car would be written off as a class C. As part of the quote, they would include a new bumper (very expensive, part painted well over £200 from what I can remember, as the textured section has creased/streched), new x-member, pull the slam panel (looks like its gone in on the n/s),alignment checks, labour for removal and refitting of Lamps, rad grille bumper etc, and paint (very expensive ICI water based), and the bonnet unless it isn't marked, and consumables (antifreeze etc) would be easy close to £600-£700 if not more, as they charge between £23-£30 to insurance companies ph, depending on the company.

At least you were there, if you wasn't they probably would have just got off!!

if they try to write it off ill tell them to F-off and the bloke and ill fix it myself - i can do it all for under £100 easy (TBH i have the parts ready!!)

going around tuesday for quotes
