lets hope the person that caused it gets whats coming to them karma and all that mate,rebuild her or build another at least you walked away from it

I have everything I need to repair but it's the paint. It would need a full respray and it would look silly with green panels. :(

Needs must mate , just repair and do paint at a later date  ;)

That sucks more than a supercharged Dyson! Fix what you can, paint when you can...
I know who you feel, I built an amazing car years ago (one of those that you wish you still had) and some moron smashed in the front end and buffered off. I did fix her up and although the paint never was right and it bit me every time I looked at it, at least I still had her for a while....

if you have the color mixture formula , new paint prepared wont be very different imo..  :-\
 
so why you need full re-spray.. it requires some bit of work to match the color even if its different..

oh shite.... like you ide be well pissed off!!! i bet u wished u had run in to the stupid bint!! atleast u can fix her!!!  :y

unlike my last elite 2bent chassis legs writing it off  :'(

matching the paint is yes guna be hard ish but a good paint sprayer should be able to match the flip, even if the whole car flatted down have the front blown in & have the flip put into the lacqure & just blow over the main shell with lacqure to hide the fade in..

are the alloys still available?? can you get singles???

Hi Simon,

Have you raised an incident with your local Police force?

If not, I urge you to do this ASAP. I know it's probably low on your priority list mate, but it's very important for a couple of reasons...

1) In case the other party / anyone else saw the accident, decides they 'sustained damage' and attempts to claim against you.

2) It means that if the above occurs, you can't be booked for "failing to report an accident"

3) If you know the make and model of the car concerned, there is a bloody good chance of tracking her down within a given time slot, even without the VRM. I can't say too much, but ANPR is a wonderful thing.......

Most importantly - pleased you are OK - that's by far the main thing :y

That is sound advice.

Also gutted to see the damage mate  :(
