bit of a shame really, he was waitin to pull into work when some dizzy bint in a fiesta piled into the back of him! bloody ford drivers!!

anyway, to cut a long story short, i bought it, and banged it on the jig in work, took a bit of pulling to get it straight again...

got it all straight, and fitted a new rear panel....

Why go for yellow? Didn't you think about keeping it the original colour?
