Went to buy a BMX today and saw this sat outside the workshop.

I recognise it, it was for sale not long ago, the lad had it one day and did this to it.

Check the creased roof.

Its a C20XE but still cool

I didnt quite understand what the guy said, but apparently the lad says he was doing 30. Something to do with a stationary vehicle.

Nah, generally once the roof skin has creased, thats a sign that the whole shell has had a serious impact and wil be VERY hard to repair, if not impossible.

Easier to re shell.

The wheel has hit the flitch and pushed the apilar up which is whats creased the roof..

You could pull it straight on a Jig, but its probably not worth it.

I wouldnt say it was worth it either.

Both A pillars are holed at the bottom and its not a very original example anyway.

Still a shame though...
