For starters...
How much did you pay for the car? Must have been about £2500-3000?
Then £6k on filler (joke!), so around £9k has been, or will be spent. You can pick up a half decent Scooby (for example) for around £5k or £6k, and have £3000 left to insure it.
To be fair, if you have the money and its...
Not really mate, I cant stand aftermarket bodykits, think they ruin a car. I like cars to look standard and modify the mechanical side of things rather than the cosmetics. Its one of those each to their own things, Im not slating you cause you like them, everyone is entitled to their own...
Look for other Willy for sale in Auto Trader and places like that, then send them to your insurance company to show them what the going rate is for a car the same as yours, and point out that is what you will accept (minus deductions obviously) as a minimum.
x2 Clios, soon to be 1, then even thats going within the next few weeks. Also have the Supra, a 306 which has just replaced the wifes RT, and also an NSR250 for track days.

Trevq - How do you rate that head unit, Ive been looking at getting it to replace the JVC Chamelien (sp) that I currently have. How many pre-outs does it have, and does it have a seperate sub pre-out and aux line?
I love the features on my current HU and the fact that it flat panel and...
Well, Im on my 9th R5 GT turbo, so you could say I think thats the most fun car Ive driven.
The Mazda 323 4x4 Turbo was great in the corners, but not much grunt.
But for outright power and handling, nothing comes close to the Supra.
Mandy,
Get the other bodyshops to do a report on the car (or the faults on it), take copies of it to the place that done it in the first place, tell them you want a full refund, or the faults fixing for free, or you will be taking it up with trading standards.
EDIT: I think I really need to...
