depends who you know really with getting things like that fixed. have you tried taking the pannel off inside and banging it back out. it would look a lot better. doesnt look like its creased it bad

everything has to come off (exhaust, alloys, manifold and bonnet cable has to be snapped, drums brakes etc) yes i could easlie just pop it out and bog it up with a bit of filler and spray it but engine wise....its dieing . i think i will buy the car back jus to sell the heated leather interior (from a calibra) and the engine etc...but ah well.

am i right in thinking you have an engine conversion in that corsa thats not declared?? You mention if the insurance dont notice the engine. If so, your a badger!

Yes he's in the wrong for not declaring the engine change but give the lad a break! Just had his car mullered, how would you feel coming out and seeing that?

I have no sympathy for people with invalid insurance = them not insured. Bet he'd be more pissed if the woman wasnt insured eh.

I'm sure they have heard the bonnet cable trick loads of times and it'll make them even more curious...
