and ive said it a 1000 times - SET YOUR OWN BODY SHOP UP u will make a mint out of it and love it
not confident yet working on other peoples cars to set up my own bodyshop i dont think! repaired my girl frinds brothers van at the weekend and repaired bonnet and grill and painted, they came out well! also tried painting over a scratch on side and blowing it in that was not to good tho need a smaller nozzle for me gun!! 1.4ml just belts loads of paint on the pannel!
wud be great to do mad on the car and prob get cover of mag cos no one mods them yet cos still expencive but i gotta keep it standard looking just incase i wanna sell it for another prokect! lol

FC check out www.vx220.org.uk. There are plenty of people on there who may / could give you a hand.
As benny_h has stated the 'tub' looks rather badly damage. I would get a VX techie or Lotus(same as elise/exige) bod too look at it. They really do not like impacts. There have been plenty of the VX's written of over time I would not like to see you in a crash that ends up in two.
PS don't let non vx vauxhall places touch them, they no fuck all about the car. If you want a good VX dealer/Techie Baylis has a top guy in cheltenham. (Well up too speed on the car)
Otherwise good luck and careful as you go as they are a complete scream, but not a car I would like to drive on the limits if it fooked, as they are enough of a handful as they are

have been on that site just not regestered yet!!! will get round to doing it soon!
once we have changed the suspention bits on the rear then we are taking it to demon tweaks to get it all tracked and the rear set uo to make sure the wheels are in corect places and all facing the right way with corect camber!
pretty sure its just knocked into the tub, the pics do look worse than it actually is cos its in the sun and reflection makes it look worse than it is! it was a slow impact, think the drive just pulled off from traffic lights and spun into lamppost!!! eveything seems to mesure up that the tub is straight just knocked into the bottom! it will all be sorted before it goes on the road! cant wait, just hope i can insure it! back to work today so the progress on the car stops for the next week+ cos working everyday!! gutted!

I want torbo power, not Jap power 
Also, I read that the VX220 is a better car. I don't know how they figured that one out though as they are the same
