Great news mate, extra money for your own xmas presents! :lol:

[Wobba]

Yay! That's great news!

I thought it would be a write off!

[MAXIBOY]

sounds great mate.. :D

Are you spending the leftovers on an F7P engine?

Could it be worth finding an F7R? ;)

Or there's the 1.8 Cup engine in the For Sale forum for a bargain price!

Good result 8) 8)

Why would you want/need them bits?
Restore it as a mint valver - more charmful imo :D

Technically it is, Cat C, but I blagged it to be that so I'd make a few quid out of it :wink:

The only downside is it's gonna cost an extra £100 as the roof had to be re-done :( the repair to the top of the B-pillar caused the roof to move a bit & cracked the paint

Er, you might want a mod to remove that (and this) post in case insurance bods are on the ball and find it!!

It's all legit, the engineer worked out the cost of repair on the basis of the cost of a whole new rear qtr and door from renault, and that I'd demand like for like replacement with genuine parts

AFAIK the other guys insurance co. dont really give a toss what I do with the car as they've paid a smaller sum because I opted to keep the car

They should be greatful I'm saving them money, this little accident has been fookin costly for them. This is the list they're paying for so far

Damage to crash barriers
Destroyed lamp post
Clear up & recovery costs
Fully comp payout for his car
My payout
My hire car costs @ £90 a day since 6th Nov

Then this on top

Compo for injury & loss of earnings
Lawyers fees
Helphire's fees

Just re-read this & forgot to answer that, it's being spent on a meggy F7R I bought ages ago
