Well the time has come, my first at fault crash 
Pulling out of a side road traffic was stopped from the right, started pulling out then a van come along in the other lane from the right and I t-boned him.
Luckily the other bloke is happy for me to sort him a new sliding rear door (his is slightly stoved in) and not bother with insurance. 
Bit gutted but not much to sort on mine and there's no hurry to sort it.

You look to have been lucky, all you need is a bonnet and grille isn't it?

I've not actually tried that, it seems to be holding part of the grill in place at the minute.

Gives me an excuse to get one, that one's mainly made up of rust.
I forgot about my tax as well.
Another upside my dad's just paid for the door for the van, cos I was working for him at the time.
And Matt, it was this morning when it happened, when I saw you it was looking like that.

Update
Went out before and lifted the bonnet.
Crash panel is bent down at the front,
both brackets on drivers side headlight snapped (I just pulled it straight out, only thing holding it was the wiring),
Reinforcer bar behind the bumper is bent,
Grill snapped,
Bumper a bit wonky.
Does anyone know if you can get the little white clip that the bottom of the headlight clips into.
Just to add to it all as well, tax is up at the end of the month, and MOT's up on the 12th of next month, I was going to go down the garage today and book it in.
On the upside I've got a door sorted for the other guy's van, just have to wait for it to arrive.
