Fortunately he was only travelling at about 15 MPH, hopefully apart from the aesthetics there is no real harm done.

Made me mad though!!!!

Hairy, you seem to have taken this shocking news very well. Hope you are back on the road soon (the weathers pants anyway)

Depends what you mean by aesthetics - new wing, probably bonnet too, plus all the bendable bits in that zone. Could be £xxxx by the time the fat lady sings. Hope you got all the insurance details. Might be time for the headlight conversion you always promised yourself! Sorry to see your p&J in such a state

Ouch! If that wing can't be repaired then you'll need a new nose section at a very reaonable 4K plus all the labour paint etc......
I reckon best case 2K, worst 6K.
Prepare to be without the car for a couple of months as well
Oh the joys of glassfibre construction.
You have my sympathies.

Don't listen to the merchants of doom, mate. That will polish out.

That sucks. I was quoted about 1300 quid to get my damage repaired (see profile). Good luck.

Nip down Halfwits and get a touch up pen, no worries.

Yup, looks like more damage than I had to my front end and I needed all of the above. Came in at a very reasonable £6748.
