I see a part out in your future. Hopefully you had full coverage and can recoup the costs, or get a new ride.

20k? Or 2k? If 20k how would it not be totaled?

Well the car here is valued at 300000ZAR wich is about 37500USD and insurance will only total car if value is over 70%
damages are around 20000USD
I have to make sure to sell my car in south Africa. Your car is worth more than I paid for my mine brand new.

All things considered, that doesn't look too bad. I'd say fix it. You're lucky the rear quarter panel didn't get touched. Now I'm not gonna pretend to be an auto assessor, but it looks like the bumper could still sit flush and the front fender is just bent. It doesn't look like there'd be frame damage to my eyes.

I know it looks bad to you and it really sucks to see threads like this, but your car isn't that bad off. I see in the list they have exhaust silencer. Is that just the tip or a full exhaust? Yours looks pretty bent. Why does it list a right rear fender? You have no pics of that.

Well the price is high so im assuming its for the whole exhaust , so if thats the case , new exhaust time for me, any suggestions? i have spoken to insurance and they said i can put any after market park i want within the price, so far i will be getting a better radiator, i have been suggested this Mishimoto http://www.mishimoto.com/honda-s2000...nce-00-05.html


also someone has suggested the megan racing exhaust, inputs ?

bent frame=just get it totaled. never worth it if it has a bent frame and resell value is going to be horrible.

bent frame is dangerous even when it has been professionally fixed. once the frame is bent is doesnt have the structural integrity it used to have.

If my car looked like that, there is no way I would keep it if it got fixed.
