So sorry about it,
repair is difficult, but it will be like new again, can't go wrong, as all parts to be replaced are riveted/glued on to the main chassis specific points.

Are you getting the car repaired through the Main Dealers prefered painters, the reason I ask is that will the car be categorised as a CAT D Repaired car, if so it will be hard to move it on later, glad things are looking up for you, bet you cant wait to get rolling again

hey all, yes only a week or so left til i get it back(hopefully)..........it has been on a JIG to check the chassis and shell integrity, and have been inform ed that it can be fixed and the chassis is fine
as for the inner pass wing, that had to be replaced together with the outer wing too, so other then this there is no major work, the rad was broken and pushed into the belt and pulleys, but ever so slightluy
engine is fine and working.
iTS been a while, in fact alomost two months on Thursday this week, i been rolling around in a mazda3 ,
cant wait for the return.................

Hope you are happy with the repair, if it's repaired by the insurer then it will not be CAT registered and will show up HPI clear.
I personally wouldn't want my car back after that damage.
