had a crash in my car yesterday, entirely my fault i hit a car on a dual carriageway. im hoping its repairable but i wont hold out much hope :( can anyone who knows bodywork give me an opinion? i cant open the bonnet as its stuck, but from outside it seems to be bonnet, bumper FMIC and wing.still drives fine. if insurance write it off would it be wise to buy it back to fix with second hand parts? ive got a bonnet on the way already. if it cant be fixed i am finished with cars, will buy a 5 year old escort and be miserable

looks like the bumpers obviously in tatters but the head light would have taken lots of the impact and that's not really touched...?? rip the bumper off and see what she looks like then....

 

Also(!) sorry to hear this fella hope you get it sorted soon.... don't give up on the Soop!

Good luck getting it sorted out Dan. I feel for you mate. Its horrible not being able to drive your supra for whatever reason that may be. Chin up fella, cant see it being written off.

 

And look at it this way, if at all possible, now you have a legitimate reason to change any styling you may want to. Different bumper, vented wings etc ;)

looks very light actually. As long as MODs have been declared, you may be able to go for write off due to damage to FMIC etc etc but its entirely up to yourself.

Id keep and repair - looks an easy one IMHO

 

thats what im hoping. i declared the mods but its not an agreed value or anything, i know a good bodywork guy but insurance costs and real costs are different things. might be at you traders very soon if all goes well
