do you mean a pic from above or just that you can see the whole damage?

yes, it is my mom's car. a Peugeot 206 sw. IMO, that car is rubbish! it's not older than one year and the oil pump got broken, the motor software striked, the diaphragm of the roofrail fell off and so on.
I prefer a pic to see the whole damage at once... Not that it pleases me, but want to see the overall damage :S

Concerning the Peugeot what do you want: French cars

long story short, a friend drove my car and couldn't negotiate a turn and he hit a median curb. the entire left front end suspension was replaced, two wheels and tires replaced, the front bumper had a minor scratch which was buffed out and repainted for a lot of money only to be covered up by an ACS front lip and carpet was replaced from the spilled coffee.

i'm glad to report that she is definitely back to her original shape and couldn't be any happier. so sese, there is light at the end of the tunnel...

I am sorry, but must ask: Was he aware and familiar with Active Steering? It can be very troubling if you over steer in slow places. Even after 9K miles, I am still very cautious in tight parking spaces. I am always afarid I am going to clip a rear wheel on the curb.

Good luck, that's why God invented insurance companies.

I just bought this one with some minor damage. A day or two (or a couple weeks) and it'll be as good as new. Hang in there....
