Thanks for your input guys i have taken it all into consideration and decided to keep the car for now. i'm going to do what i can to repair the damage i'm also thinking about buying another set of pug alloys bigger than what i have atm though. i'm on the look out for the two rear doors for it to.
The car is driving fine no wobbles or noises but the impact was at low speed so didn't expect damage to the wheel bearing or axle handbrake is holding fine braking is as sharp as it usually is so to me it all seems to be in order thankfully.
Tom306 i'm sorry that you're upset with my lack of grammar and i will say that i am aware that my grammar is absolutely sh*t and has been for a very long time on the upside though i know i can come to you from now on to help me improve my grammar skills cheers buddy
lol (sorry tom only having a laugh with you)
I totally know what you're saying though tom even though the car is only cosmetically damaged the car really doesn't feel the same which sucks.
Thanks for the advice grant,niall i will know for future reference this was my first accident and obviously the first time dealing with insurance so i guess i was an easy target for them to fob me off to be honest i'm just glad it's all over and dealt with.
So the plan at this moment in time is to keep the car until just before my insurance policy is up for renewal then get shot of it and buy a 306 estate.
dan this is the funny part admiral said the car was a total loss and so they offered me the £560 they then said that the car would have to be categorised, anyway they asked me for pictures of the damage so they could assess what category to put my car in. well after sending them the pictures and waiting on the phone for 10 mins they came back and said that they aren't going to categorise the car so i was free to do what i wanted with it.
