If i crash my car will they give me an R32, i miss it 

[R32UK]

Got my courtesy car this morning. An Alfa 156 2.4 GTD.... looks drives 

so from a FWD, manual, petrol, hatchback, with cloth, i am now in a RWD, auto, diesel, with leather.... 

not really like for like, so i will be going with the VW AMC instead come monday morning and hopefully they can have me back in a golf at some point. Not being fussy but I have quite a few early starts and leather is the worst thing to have, and in this freezing cold weather a RWD auto is just no fun.

So who is going to have a guess at the cost of the repair?


I will start.. £5830 + vat

You pansy, i was up at 4am this morning and the leather was fine

WOW! 
What exactly do you have to get done?  Obviously a new wing and door.  The bumper looks like it can be re-used?
Suspension?

At a guess new front bumper (as its insurance im sure they will change it)
new front wing
new front door
new rear door
sill underneath the front door
new wing mirror
2 x new monza shadow

it was only a guess but I would easily say the 5k mark. i am quite sure its driving slightly funny too..

I suppose when I think that getting the rear bumper on my ED30 replaced (whole thing), sprayed and fitted was £1200 then what you've mentioned above might cost more than £5830... especially if theres suspension / steering damage.

I'll go for £6450 + VAT then!

Those Alfa 156 2.4 JTD's are FWD not RWD.  Learn this now, or you'll end up trying to rwd power drift round a corner and end up fwd understeering into a transit van or something.

I'd have thought driving it in the snow with the wheels spinning would have been easy to work out whether its FWD or RWD!
I was driving my fiance's BMW today in the snow (we only have about 2") and it was great fun.  I had to take the DTC off to get out of the car park, but cornering in non gritted side streets was comical!
