Right.. had ma car looked at by bodyshops.. they dont know if its a write of or not, pretty touch or go... Personally i didnt think it was.

Anyone on here think it is or isnt? Basically the rear of the car has been folded in, and the impact pushed the sides in a bit as well... see pics






Whatya think?
Cheers.

It aint on the other side.. but one bodyshop said to me they could "fix that" for me.. and then it would be write off

Im hoping it is a writeoff.

Once the boot floor is damaged it gets into serious repair costs tho.

Thats a write off mate. Its fixable so get some quotes for fixing it though and if you get a decent pay off from insurance company buy the car back and get it fixed.

I had a H-reg nova damaged like that. The body shop said it would a writeoff cause it would cost £1300 to fix. But the insurance fixed it in the end. New tailgate bumber slam panal and had to be Jigged. That was 18 months ago.

Thats not a difficult repair. It's only written off as its beyond economic repair. ie. the car isn't worth more than twice what the repair costs are.

For the record, I'm with Nik, pull it out and get a big engine and a cage in there
