that's a close call matey if the chassis has rippled, a,b or c bar has bent/moved or if a strut tower weld has moved or has split it's an instant write off from memory. Have you looked underneath it? as 5k for a new door and wing, and all new wishbones re jigging etc is a lot of money for what looks like not a lot. :(

It may never be the same car again though and once they fix it it's fixed and done with.
Just some advice mate up to you what you do with it. :)

I appreciate the advice mate but I think its just something you don't want to contemplate when it happens to you I don't know if I could love another one (just joking). I will have to see how it goes but I am going to get it inspected when they hand it over and if its not right I will send it back till it is. I'm lucky really because I had it booked in for a free revo trial soon but wasn't going to tell my insurance company it would have been just my luck that they would have discovered it and void my insurance... :embarrassed:

I know how you feel, years ago I had just bought a BMW when some fool ran into me and damaged the car, it took 6 weeks to fix - waiting on parts and I had to drive around in a French made pile of crap courtesy car all that time - I hated that car so much but it was great to get my own car back eventually.

When you put it like that, maybe it wasn't so bad after all, think I would rather walk than drive a Hyundai :embarassed:
