Not an ideal fix but for the sake of getting it retested for free i would try find some shallower/thinner nuts that allow the thread of the strut to come through.
Should you be typing with such a badly injured neck? im no doctor but i would take it easy if i was you.

More than likely a write off but if you can buy back the car from your insurance company you could well be quids in. A dent guy should be able to make it look better than it is. Or pikey filler/repair it and just continue to use it.
How is your whiplash? ive heard thats worth a couple of grand :P
Ive witnessed this myself from the passenger seat of my mates old scooby great sense of community. TBH i dont wish to share that sense of community with 90% of Clio owners so put me down for a would not wave//flash (unless your fit)
Over 200bhp from cams and a remap!? behave!! I'll drop kick my cat square in the face then donkey punch my buddies sisters boss if that car produces over 200bhp
Pepper if your happy with your 182 and your after a white one then i'd wrap yours. Full wrap will cost best part of a grand so its worth having a think how badly you want a white 172/182!!
Re: Personal Opinion on the best modification done to a 172/182 Performance or Stylin
I would say camber bolts made the biggest difference for the least money.
A 3 ton fork lift aint going to break a sweat lifting a ton of car but as suggested the scope for user error is enough to make things interesting. I cant say i'd use one to work on the 200 but i wouldnt have the escort up on one no problems.
I would personally get down to a friendly local garage and explain you just need a quick hand undoing 2 bolts. I take it the other side didnt present the same problem?
I think this every time I see a quote over a grand. Best bit is when I was 17 I got on one of the years free insurance deals!! Oh how things have changed.
Undo all the work that's gone into it, lower it 30mm on turini's strip the interior with the view to never taking it on track before the masses converge and burn you for being a witch!!
After you've taken the front wheel off you only need to undo 3 bolts to remove the shock, you only need to undo 4 to remove both rear shocks and the wheels stay on!! £300+ is a joke if I was you I would attend local meet and get to know a few guys then offer them a few squid to help.
The long...
I have to give it credit purely for the amount of work needed to achieve the look. So many people just stick turinis and a nurburg sticker on a car and call it a real head turner. I can't say I'd ever do it myself but fair play none the less. Bet that thing harvests road kill like a beast!!
My gf's Megane does this and it's almost certainly down to loom gremlins (a dodgy connection somewhere in the wiring loom) Renault are renowned for poor electronics. We just put up with it as its not an mot failure.
if you can't live with it take it to someone who has experience with...
