Well it has been ALONG time coming (since MARCH!!) but last week I got my car back after it being in the garage for a week and a half! (nearly killed me not having a car lol!)

Some before pics:-

Not the same instance! The crash was all my fault, and I took full blame for it. The second piece of damage was someone trying to nick it or just break it :confused:

The damage to the car required:-

New bumper,
New bonnet,
New slam panel,
New headlight,
New grill,
New temperature sensor

Eeeeek!

I am chuffed with it being done :D Woooooo Hoooooo! I was soooo excited! Hehe!

Wing mirror is pushed in, not taking any chances with damage to it!!

:D

Got the fuses, plugs, oil and air filter changed and well as the oil being changed! Got the brakes checked as well and all is good:D

What the fudge you needed all that doing from that!? Eek, i pretty much replaced all that and you didn't see the state of my car after i'd finished with it.


Well actually it still looks a state, but thats a whole other story :p

Lol yeah it looked worse than in the picture though :p The headlight was cracked, and you couldn't get the bonnet up because it was so bent and the slam panel was soo damaged, luckily it JUST missed the radiator!

What you do to your car?:p

You couldn't recognise the front of my car, nor the behind of the car i hit. Bloody young drivers i tell you...

Yet, i only replaced offside wing, bonnet, bumper radiator, reservoir/pump few other "little" things :p Think i've covered most, i'm telling you mine looked a lot worse than that. Yours looks like the average female failed parking attempt ;)

Is it just me or are those panel gaps all over the place?

Think the bonnet is undone making the lines look dodge mate.
Looks mint now Tink so keep it that way by letting a MAN drive you around in it :p

Thanks :D It does, I am sooo pleased with the results!

Hahaha! That would involve me having a man in my life! As well as trusting them enough in my car! I am terrible when someone else drives my car! I have to close my eyes when my dad drives my car! Scares me to death!
