What did you hit? How fast? (without incriminating yourself obviously!)

Bad luck mate, but could have been worse.

ummmm I was on a dual carriageway doing about 60-65 before I ended up facing the wrong way and only hit a crash barrier

Far better to re-use parts that can be re-used don't you think? Front bumper clips spring to mind.  ::)

As for being a Vulture, I wouldn't expect to peck at something and have it for free, far from it. Let's be honest though, if the car is fully comp insured it will be cubed long before anyone / any salvage yard could get to sell the parts on.

the front bumper is coming straight off and will be for sale soon, the rest of the car is off to somewhere in eastern europe if the scrap yard bloke is to be believed

No cheap way of fixing imo that unless your best friend works in the body repair trade.

I would be thinking of buying it back strip and sell the parts or even better.... Fix it!
The insurance will look at it and say it's beyond economical repair but, what is she worth to you? Can you afford to fix her up? Just remember it might be worth getting a shop to take a look at it and give you a quote, if you do the strip it before the body shop gets it, that will save on costs...
It's your choice but if it was me.....
Glad you're ok though....

If its high spec, I'd be inclined to break it, and get some money back.
