is this repairable. through insurance its pretty obvious they would write it off. but because im only TPFT they arent even coming out to look at it and said "we'll leave your car to you"

i can always get second hand 'iceberg' panels from people breaking on here, but im just wondering about the structual damage . wouldnt this really need to be jigg'd to be able to straighten it? surely not cheap.

cant decide whether to have a shot at repairing it or just break it.
theres various metal parts that have just folded, the black part has folded so its now flush agaisnt my radiator,along with one of the headlight mounting points. the corner has squashed back. a piece of metal has fully snapped off ,couldnt find where it has come from but (think that was also another headlight mounting point tbh) and has snapped off near where the metal has folded round on itself near where the front of the wing would be. and the slight crease in the roof is also clearly a sign of the jolt the car has had because it wasnt there before.

Crease in the roof = entire shell is twisted, hells no. That's before you even get onto the matter of replacing inner wings etc. Break it.

Lols. Yeah mate because of it's age it's not really worth repairing.

The only reason i'd consider fannying it together is because you're left with the car mate.

The crease in the roof is no big deal. Every heavy front ended Clio goes there mate.

Crazy insuring tpft though dude. Try and sell it whole or break it. Lot of hassle though.

well tbh who would buy a car like that as a whole..apart from to break. basically they will just buy it to make the money that i could make myself.lol

ive had offers on a few of the more bulky parts already, so think ill just break it myself and atleast get abit of brass in the back burner.
