Had a bot of an "off" on the Snake Pass about 10pm last wednesday night. Seemingly snatched too much brake in to a flattish l/hander, locked up and slewed in to the hill on teh right.
Lucky boy didn't roll and seemingly only knocked off the rubber splitter. However, the driver's side wheel is now sat about 1" nearer the driver's door. So here's the chassis:

So what you guys reckon? Clearly the stay bar or whatever it is is bent as, so I'm guessing the subframe is bent as well. Wishbones look ok, but tbh if I'm doing the frame I'll fit new wishbones anyway.
I also managed to break the 1st 1/2coil of spring on the passenger side, although looking at the cross section it may have been rotting away anyway.
