Well in a nutshell pulled out infront of someone last night and my drivers door is fucked. I think its a write off.
Do i....
a) break it
b) try and sell it as it is and get what i can, bearing in mind the engines only a 1.0 and it sounds fucked tho

Harsh mate, bet that shook you up. Gutted its not only the door. Id get a quote from a garage you trust before you decide on anything.

That's surely written off. Look at the Sill, Quarter etc.

i reckon its a writeoff. thing is, its got a few other probs with it anyway, engine is only a 1.0 so it sounds shite anyway. i'm gunna get a quote 2moro, but im 90% likely jst to get a loan out and get a new car. so whatever i make from this will be a bonus. il probably break it, interior is mint.

 I have to agree with Phil, I'm pretty sure thats a write off tbh mate. T-Cut certainly won't help you on this one!  Guessin theres a bit more to the story out of the "nutshell" that you don't want to tell?

Yeh understandable you were in shock! Guess at the end of the day, you were lucky that you weren't hurt. Unlucky that you've got a written off car on your hands now though.

Im really gutted for you mate, ive been through the same thing. You fully comp? My car was a total write off, I lost around £1300 overall. Got to say im totally chuffed with my rallye though and despite the fact it only cost 800 im happier than ive been with any of the other cars ive had.
