my beloved gti is now WRECKED!

From your description it sounds like you weren't in the car and it was your bro that was driving.
Its bad enough when you are in the car but when you give the car out to someone and they phone to tell you they have had an accident in your pride and joy must be heart stopping?!?

Glad everyone was ok, you can always fix/replace a car.

Sorry to hear what happened! More important everyone involved is ok! Your car definitely look fixable----new front wing+bumper+/-bonnet

That A3 got damaged front suspension---maybe a bit too fast for the road condition? I bet he hardly got any tread on his tyres!

What annoys me is the police keep emphasizing on catching speeders but they do nothing for car owners who don't look after their car. I was following a chap this morning doing 20mph whose windscreen is still covered with steam+frost!

not sure i follow exactly what happened, but like others, hope it all works out ok for you.

no injuries thats the main thing

given the age of the A3 it could be written off as a result

Police action ? - bet they don't want to know but driving with undue care n attention ? 

One of those things i'm afraid - gutted for you but a few days in the bodyshop and it'll be back.

thank you all for the replies. 
im not really gutted.  its only a car. only issue is the hassle.  afterall i will get it back- nearly new.  its just annoying.  luckily he admited blame straight away.  one positive thing was the white estate in one of the pics( pic with the lady in brown coat) is now correctly parked!  lol  look at the unsnowed patch it left. incidently she is his wife and came from their house.  so both of use unfortunately only live metres away. 
wasn't a big crash, no air bags or nowt but i think there is internal damage- looking at the liquid to the right front wheel.  not forgetting door damage too.  dont know the gti badge went which is funny i think...

Arsehole in an Audi.
Townies a little sprinkling of snow and they are unable to drive.
Glad your bros ok and the car i hope is repaired to a decent standard.

Sorry to hear about the crash bud. Personally I wouldnt have settled for a 207, specially if you dont like it, you are entitled to a like for like replacement while yours is fixed, their insurance will pay for it so you wont be out of pocket. Anyway, all the best.
