Waiting for one to turn up. Bought one from Earl. Will prob need to be painted. Not sure if I should colour it or do it black again?

Also need a DS Fog light too to finish it all off.

Frank - not back on the road yet mate. Still need to make it drive in a strait line and get it MOT'd and taxed. Moneys a little on the tight side so prob wont be till end of June.

If you're after an O/S foglight, I just bought the N/S one from this seller on ebay for £29.99 all in. He has an O/S one that didn't sell so might be worth sending a message:

Yes indeedy, your motor is looking sweet once again.

It always amazes me how quality bodyshops turn a crunch into perfection. I've had mine in 3 times over the past 12 months for minor stuff (mostly not my fault I might add!) and it always comes back in absolutely pristine condition. (My lot even saved me £130 on my excess coz I combined two scuffs in one visit.)

If there is any of you bodyshop boys out there reading this then I salute you all. You are craftsmen of the highest order! =D>

Good skills for getting it all back together. makes a change from the usual, 'gonna cost too much so breaking it' thang we usually get. It lives to see another day! Woohoo.

Amazing repair job.! Couldnt even tell where the new pannels had been sprayed. And yea those rims looks like massive!!! Mine are the same wheels but 17" and dam does that extra inch make the difference! lol

Glad to see one that has been repaired and not written off!!! :D

Well it cost alot - £1k for the body work, £397 for 2 new wheels and £50 for the a new pair of crystal front lights. IMO though the car was too good to let go, it would have taken for ever to break, I wouldnt have got alot and then I would be stuck with sod all money, a huge loan and no car.

Front end pic on it's way sometime!

Edit: Massive thanks to James at 3s for all the parts I needed. Also to Dave (Ginga) for the side repeaters and strips.
It truly is a great place to be a member, people all sticking together.
