Just to give you guys a bit of an update..... My car is at allied car repairers at the moment, and its going to cost around 2k to fix.... Whole new front end, bumper, bonnet, grilles, wing, air filter, lights, radiator, light motors..... And the front chassis arms are bent but the guy said on the phone that they are designed to deform and its going to go back on a chassis jig to pull them all out properly.
So it doesnt seem like its going to be a write off... Ive got pics on my phone but basically all they will show you is a crumpled up bonnet and pushed in bumper.
I've been put off the elise a bit by the rover engine and a horror story in this months evo mag long term section. Cost something like 3000k to repair engine and other parts that had failed in a 7k car!!
Anyway I'll post up before and after pics of the accident damage.
Cheers
Fraser
