I reckon bike as well, because there's not one huge vertical dent on it. Which is worrying because I ride a bike as well

Surely it would be easier to chop the back end off and stick a new one back on from one with a damaged front end

Enjoy looking at it and wondering if it will polish out?

What a pile of shit.

I thought once the roof was damaged most cars would be written off anyway? Cause to repair it you have to cut through the pillars and weld it, which is the strength in the car.

If it was £500, maybe....but as someone said after the repair bill it's not gonna be much cheaper than buying one without the hassle.

Don't see how he can justify selling it for :- £2,100.00

With it being a CAT C and that badly damaged mind!
