All depends on how much the car is valued at so imo its pointles posting up pics or damage to owners cars.
Plus if you ask alot of garages these days, cars are written off far to easy, ie even if chasis and boot floors are crumpled, they just do say its a write off as its not worth there while doing the work.

imho, if the chassis has been damaged and floor been damaged, it shouldn't be allowed back on the road, regardless of the repair.

but this corsa was only a month old when it had the accident i read on the internet that if its under 3 years old which it was the damage would have to b over 60% of the cars value so the damage would have been over £6600 so it must have been pretty bad

* Category A - Vehicle must be crushed. All of it.
* Category B - Car may not be returned to road. Parts may be sold.
* Category C - Repairable. Possibly structural damage. Cost of damage (at main dealer prices and labour rates) is more than book value of car.
* Category D - Repairable. Probably non-structural damage. May have been economic to repair, but insurer doesn't want to.
* Category F - Damaged by fire.
* Category X - Repairable. Minor Damage.
