meekstaaa Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 unfortunately the car isn't worth 600 in the insurance eyes you can buy it back and fix it yourself though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike C Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 don't go through the insurance I think it's pathetic if they write that off! I once got a genuine Ford wing, brand new off ebay for £11 probably get a 2nd hand headlamp for a fiver bumper for £20 £70 for spraying what else is there?

Devboy Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 well... maybe if the wings were bolt on it wouldn't be a write off... But the wings are welded and need painting on the car . bumps the price up... You never know... they might pay for it to get fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
