i hate to say i told you so but im not the only person thinking it then. they would rather write off a car than repair it where they can recoup some money back from salvage too, book price on it is peanuts, cost of a bumper and a bonnet plus fitting and painting is bloody expensive. just wrote alexs car off for nothing more than a rear bumper scuffed and a broken fog light and i remember LLL trying to sell me a red type s that was cat c for very little damage last year, i had my blue 4th cat c'd for a small dent in the wing and a cracked sidelight lens 2 years ago.

I bought a BB4 many years ago for a parts car, was written off for a scuffed bumper and broken headlight mounts

It's perfectly fixable. Hammer out the dent, fill, respray the bonnet and bumper. Refit bumper.

Ideally a new bonnet if possible in the same colour.
Bumper is easy peasy to fix.

Whatever happens (which I will probably know on Thursday) I can tell you guys that I will keep this car. Even if its a write off, which I highly doubt, I'll accept the correct price for my car as I've insured it as a Type-S and will get it fix. Second hand bumper and fresh paint on the bumper I can get that sorted my self later on month.

Will keep you guys updated..
