List of parts I've been told it'll need so far: Roof skin, bonnet, bonnet struts, catches, screen. If it'll be repaired (assessor arrives Monday) it won't be back before Christmas.

if you want a healthy paint, dont hurry.. base coat/primary coat will take minimum 1 week to dry (thats an optimistic guess)  and another week for the paint to dry..  even if its painted in a heated cabin.. ( my actual experience tells me each coat needs minimum 12-15 days even at 10-15 celcius..)  also laquer wont harden properly.. (and if bondo is not used)
 
ps: strictly check job phases and drying intervals..

ouch,   

I had a distantly similar experience some years ago.....   I was belting down the M40 at xxx knots,  when some distance in front of me, a 2CV lost it's deckchair.....


which blew up, back, and came down wrapped securely across my windscreen.....     i'd already hit the brakes.....    but slowing down safely at high speed , blinded.... and without getting shunted from behind...    is no picnic./

sorry about the motor Del Boy, but at least you're okay

It's going to be as near as makes no difference a £9000 repair bill. Hear from the assessor on the definite outcome tomorrow.

They've all sold, the M5 is lovely, however it does have an SMG clutch fault

Well a repair has been authorised, so it's all going ahead, should be back with me in the second week of January hopefully. However you can just about make out from the pictures I have in fact bought another one
