Ok,was coming back through lichfield following sean(silverstone gp clio),along the a461(which is a 60mph road)as we both rounded a corner there was temp traffic lights on red and several cars waiting.....sean hits the brakes to stop...i hit mine too but wasnt going to stop in time,couldnt go into the other lane as there was oncoming traffic so had to go into the grass/dirt on the side.

Although my car ate some dirt and a traffic cone,i also managed to thump a concrete post(luckily wasnt cemented in)which has caused scratches,bumper split....broken track rod and hopefully not much more..oh and the alloy is a gonner too,buckled and cracked.

Ouch :(

f**king hell mate, I know its not the best news, but it could have been a lot worse.

Four Ashes Renault can sort body parts out...and T21ADS on here is recommended for the Renault mechanical parts you might require.

Hope you manage to get it sorted out as cost effectively as possible.
