That will be a write off. Mine was written of because of a little scratch on the wing, bumper and cracked light on my sport. Think you have read the project thread.
Worked to my advantage tho, I was given £1200 for the car and was allowed to keep it and it wasnt marked as a CAT C or D.
Hope it works to your advantage! Sorry mate!

Hope you get it sorted mate, some people really can't drive for sh*t
If it was me I would be buying a cheap run around and take yours off the road, out of harms way and you can then aim to get it all fixed up and the engine in, as the damage would just spur me on to make it all better than before

that wil be a wright off mate sorry
take the rear bumper off and let us see the damag to the rear panel, as if its only duffed the boot lid and the bumper, then it wont be to bad as they are easy to repair, also if the rear valance is a little bent then it can be fixed easy enough, lok at me and paul W's cars lol, welcom to the different coloured boot bregade

Thanks everyone. Trying not to get too upset about it. Going to be torture waiting to hear off them.
Chris, looking at the damage your car had is whats getting me worried. Would have never thought that would have been a write off.
I'll keep you all updated with it anyway

Thing is mate she'll probably just look at it and see some old heap that's been ruined by a chav, if she even knows what a Corsa is. My mum thinks that everything I do to my car makes me a chav

Mine was eventually written off for this -
but there was loads of messing about with it so hopefully they will just fix yours as doesnt look anywhere near as bad
Although having said that mine lead to much better things....

take your sub out + rear carpet and check the boot floor is'nt creased shaun (although can b pulled back out it adds to the insurance repair cost)
hopefully its just rear panel and bumper which are an easy fix
