[quote="wolfylad"]Hi, whilst i had my 3 door in the garage getting a wheel bearing done, they decided to take it out to clean it and crashed it. It has ripped the front passengerside wing off, bent the bonnet and smashed the grille. Is it still possible to source the original panels? as the garage are going to repair it. Or should i take a different route?
It was a straight 50k car with no damage history

Thanks, pics to follow[/img]

from him on PF to

[quote="wolfylad"]The owner said one of the younger mechanics come round the corner and caught the step on a luton van?
He then phoned me to say they had damaged the wing, (how do i put pics on here).
They have said hey will get it repaired, but it wont be the same, am i within my rights to not want it back as if you can no longer get wings/innerwings/grilles and bonnets etc how can they repair it properly?

yeah, I used to do that all the time, but our yard was massive, so you didn't run the risk of crashing
