I have no idea drives perfectly fine , I suppose if buying all the parts new to repair it ,also the car is platinum white pearl so whole side of car had to be blown in, to match as best as still not perfect match to rest of car, but the plan is to repaint the other side to match it, the painter knows how many coats to put on rest of car.

Love a white S. Really suits the shape of the car. Your sure LG is that young?

If that's a CATD makes you wonder why we bother with comp insurance with an excess, just shows how stupidly inflated parts prices and repairs are. Thieving bloody insurance companies!

Turned round into a very nice example, now with the stigma of being a write off for the rest of it's life.

Welcome! Colour looks superb. A nice low mileage example you have there. As others have said I can't see how that is a cat D with such minimal damage on a 57 plate car?

Post up the name of the insurance company so we can all avoid them, after all I've seen worse damage done in a supermarket car park.

Looking nice and fresh now

What happened to the old headlight? Is it repairable?
