    Really? You think it might have damaged chassis or anything?

    Boot floor will certainly need work, rear light cluster have moved, means rear panle and rear wings. You hit summit at the front aswell?

    Defo a write off :)

    Had foot on brake, still shoved the car about 8 ft forwards into back of a Micra. No damage to Micra.

    Oh well, there goes another one

    Mate dont panic with that damage as i has worse than that with me mark 1 as it was rear & front but it was sorted easily (you can damage the front valance & rear floor without damaging the chassis so get it checked by a good mechanic).

    Had new boot floor,rear lights, front valance & headlights & its fine.

    Get it written off. Buy it back for bugger all money. Take the bits you want for your next motor. Break the rest and sell it on here.

    Mine was the same kind of damage on a Mk2 and they wrote it off as an uneconomical repair. I got whiplash from it so ive got a claim going through at the mo.
