Ok guys here goes, me and Firefoot went to Le-Mans this year as usual. We decided to go for a bit of a drive and had a slight accident. Basically came off a roundabout and hit a patch of oil, the LSD let go and i couldnt recover it, gutted cause i was only doing about 20 coming off the roundabout. I've had a few suggestions as to what needs repairing which goes like this:-

1. New Door
2. New Bumper (cracked)
3. New Mirror
4. New Sills
5. Rear Quarter bashed out and resprayed.
6. 2 alloys damaged to possible mot failure
7. rear adjustable camber arm bent

We wondered if anybody knows of a good accident repair/ body shop in the Cardiff/Barry area they can suggest or recommend. The car still drives straight and true, slight vibration from the damaged alloys but apart from that feels fine no engine damage at all. We managed to get it the full 900 miles back from Le Mans to Wales. We're both fine and hope to see you all soon cheers.

Thanks for your replies guys. As for the stickers they fell off due to the force of the impact lol. Seriously though Firefoot wanted the car back to black which i have to agree looks tonnes better. Just hope we can get the SX fixed quick so i can get my MR2 back. Only got 4 weeks till the next run, i have new wheels and a new bumper all waiting. Anyway heres the stickered up version of the damage for you that want to see gore lol.

Before :-


Pretty but deadly:-


After :-

Still work in progress mate Firefoot got a quote of £1000 for the labour and paint, should cost around £700 quid for parts. I'll be taking my Mr2 and MrV will be joining in his MX5 Turbo so hopefully i'll see you on the 15th anyway.
