I hope your O.K and the car doesnt look that bad, that looks very light damage for a 40mph impact.   :huh:

I don't think a semi will give the same results

Hope you mend well and just think with all that compensation you could have a mental MK2! :cool:

Sorry to hear that mate.
Something tells me there is more damage than is being shown (hidden), hard to believe something didn't give somewhere else  being hit at 40mph. I hope it's just the bumper and the bit under the tailgate though :smiley:

they contacted me.HIC use them as soliciters for any vehicle damage issues and personal claims. Tbh, theyve been very professional and dealt with everything with speed.  No letters from speed medical. they used their approved 'indipendant' medical expert. even got petrol money there and back refunded! i was completely truthfull with the claim, with moderate 4/10 pain for a week after, then pain when only driving for long distances for a month after. I think Michael W Halsall did a god job.
