That sickening feeling as your miggy slides under the back of a Volvo estate at 5mph in slow moving traffic on the A303 at Stonehenge. Happenend on a roundabout which was chocker and I have a suspicion he was reversing at the time to pull out and turn right out of the jam. But ho-hum, proving that would be tough.

Here's the damage - http://www.fent.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/crunch.jpg

I'll be buggered if I'm claiming on the insurance, premium will rocket next year if I do.

Anyway... amongst other things, the passenger side headlight has been pushed back and broken the casing that holds the lamp cluster in place. My question is - is it possible to replace the casing or is it complete new headlamp unit time? Seems a shame as all the lights work perfectly and the lens is perfect.

Thanks in advance, everyone!

That's disappointing news F3 - I hope it doesn't cost too much the rectify the damage.

As an aside, I would assume that your avatar depicts an oyster rather than anything else?

Could have been a lot worse mate. Looking at the picture, it's probably bent the steel panel the headlights are fitted to, you will need them checked for alignment.

Bonnet might pull out I would guess that the slam panel has been pushed back at least an inch, again that might pull out otherwise you'll need to replace that as well on the plus side you seem to have hit it square

Thanks for all the info guys - new headlamp it is, then.

it's an oyster, Den!

I have a grill in very good condition if you need it for a modest donation say £10.  Still on the car but will be taking off weekend after next probably.  And I'm 2 miles from you.
