even if it is a write off, you can buy the car from the insurance, and repair it yourself.

or simply do not claim on your insurance, this way you keep your car and your NCB.

Get it fixed and on the road again mate

and also why havent we met?

No need to claim for that as long as none of the chassis is damaged it should cost much to repair.

Wombat corsa i have was worse than that and i fixed it for around £50 quid

Do you still want the V6 spacer as when i tried to ask you for your address you cut me off the phone....

P.S should really tried it in the dry not the wet

the arb stiffens the rear end so if you push, expect that rear end to fly out easily in the wet.

You got off quite luckily dude, coming home in the rain yesterday another corsa had span out hit a lamp post and carried on across the wrong road. Utterly mashed up.
Good to see you're alright though
