I've crashed my car I'll post pics later when it's recovered The damage isn't that bad but I reckon the cost of repair will be biblical... Could be a spare parts sale coming your way very very soon I need a hug.
Not good but you're ok But sort yourself first.... worry about the car later lots parts out there will not be as bad as you think
As long as you are ok mate, that's the main thing. I know you are probably gutted about your car, it's not a nice feeling, but you never know it may be fixable. Cheers, stew.
Gutted for you bud.... How bad is the damage?? Second hand parts are the way to go... New non genuine wings are cheap, i may have a bonnet in your colour??(need to check) i defo have front and rear small bumpers, grill Post some pictures up
I'm alive and well and got a day off work AA can't recover it due to bad weather (what the heck am I paying for?) Here's some photos (the wheels are fine, just couldn't be bothered straightening up lol)
are chassis legs ok ? if they are from what I see the rest is bolt on parts and I'm sure you'll pic them up second hand a vw jetta would have same front parts

Eurocarparts New Prices for aftermarket panels Bumper 43 Grill - 32 Slam Panel 40 Bonnet 66 Maybe radiator Wings and Front Valance look ok to me. So hopefully not as bad as you think?
if the legs are bent you can tweak them straight(er) to get the car fixed and drivable easily, they are a lot weaker than you would think! You have to spend a bit on a precision VW jigging tool, but the price is worth it: I got all the front end on and lined up after sorting the leg and it was fine, though I did have it put on a jig a few weeks later for a proper realignment. You could at least do some measuring using the blueprint in my sig 'jig - golf mk2.jpg' dont loose heart! yours looks a lot better than mine did. From this: to this:
As Sir Guy, of the kingdom of Do says I bet them wings are savable too, provided the bumper hasn't damaged the fronts too much. they're pretty easy to tweak back into shape by hand!
It's more the Kingdom of "doh " lol Can you make it drivable ? Enough to get over to me ? My part time mechanic has been jigging cars for the last 30 years and could get it tidy for you here Become a paid member and you can use his services and my gear at mates rates I've got slam panels and grills etc etc
Thanks for all the info guys. The car still drives fine, once the weather improves I'm going to put it back on my drive and have a proper look. (it's only 100m down the road at the moment) I'm skint for the time being, but shortly I'll have saved enough money to hopefully pay for whatever repairs I need. Becoming a paid member is a high priority.
If you can drive it over here tomorrow daytime I recon we coul get it 90'/. Sorted credit terms can be arranged lol Or next week pm me your number when you get the chance
I'm not going to have any free time for a while with work and everything, where about (edit: in Bolton) are you situated anyway? I slid into a van... causing zero damage to them.
Feel for you, not to bad looking and some great offers of help, make sure your rad isn't damaged and leaking before you drive it too far. Worth the effort to save though
Tyldesley off the a580 , I can only help you 8-6 weekdays sorry , kids and Mrs don't like golf stuff eating into their time
