And I missed Newent

[TheBoy]

Bugger.

What happened, just swinging into a gateway to turn around or something?

Tight gateway at my daughters school, too much input read the wall as the edge not the gate, while avoiding a fence on the pavement.

Very embarrasing - and the headmaster checked the gates were OK

Only the best school in Worcester too!

Oh well at least it is driveable, just need to straighten and this I could do with help on, or I have to go to a body shop.

At least it was just a minor knock - mind you, must have clouted it a bit to bend it that much - with just a bit of embarrassment and a bit of bent metal, nothing more serious

I'm not good with bodywork.  Don't really know any good bodyshops, but know of a retired sprayer in Evesham who apparently does a good job for a bit of pocket money.

Looks pretty straight forward to do.....got a V6 radiator you can have free if you need one.

Thanks - might take you up on that as one mount is snapped off

Its yours, its off a 3.0 elite auto and known good.

I will have to pay out of own pocket as 1 - not writing off, 2 - a big excess.

Can get the panels for not much over £200, will phone a few small repair people tomorrow

Thanks - I'll sort later in week

OK I can get the front end panels from the people formally known as Las Jacarandas

I have a source of some money

Booked in for two weeks time at a local place using S/H parts

Whilst not a "result" as such .. good to hear that a "fix" is arranged, just hope it ends up looking how you would wish ...

Just worried now about cost, I am going ex insurance as I can't afford to lose more no claims
