Is that shit on the road from his car since the crash ?
I'd say new bonnet, slam panel, lights, front bumper.
About £400 - £500 spraying costs, + the parts

Yeah the stuff on the road is from his car, guessin the radiator is fooked?
The pics are just in my street, not where the crash happened.
Bonnet doesnt open so cant really see if engine is damaged.

Bonnet - £30 ish
Lights - look ok to use again??? - may be wrong
Radiator - lookin at the puddle on the floor? £30 wild guess from scrappers
Could have bumper fixed or a new one
then labour and paint is the min bit

It needs a radiator, look at the puddle!
Both Morette surrounds are cracked as well.
Good opportunity to lose that bumper though.
Does the Merc driver not want to go through insurance? I assume he'll not want it doing on the cheap.

Dunno whats happenin about the driver of the merc, but his insurance is only TPFT anyways so he will be paying for his own car.

1194.72 if he has it all replaced for new and at a body shop.
less if he buys second hand and/or does the work himself.

id go to the scrappy myself. body shops will cost way too much. get ur stuff, fit it all up apt from bumper and bonnet. then take them into be sprayed and get a bad boy while ur there. then fit it up ur self. if u tka eto body shop nd say fix it its guna cost a bomb - labour is like £25 a hr + storage charges.

Forgot to add the gearstick feels out of place, its like at an angle, rather than being straight up.
What is this likely to be anyone know?

bonnet, headlight surrounds, slam panel, crash barrier, bumper, radiator, fan, fan cowling. Might need to repair the flitch too. Gearstick is likely to be your gear linkage.

u do realise if he would have had a standard plastic bumper and not a chavved up fibreglass tat the damage especially to the bonnet would have been reduced greatly
if it is the engine pushed back it will need to go on a jig

True, cant see a standard bumper makin that much difference tho, they arent exactly the strongest either. Too late for that now tho.
