The time has come to replace the 306 with something newer and more comfortable, and while down the scrappy the other day I found this:
Relatively minor damage, Cat C write off.
£550 with a replacement wing, door (both in a different colour) and delivery chucked in for free!
It's a 1.6 16v with electric mirrors, electric sunroof, electric front windows, aircon, front & rear fogs, Renault CD player (which aren't that special, but the 306 doesn't have most of them), and it even came with about £35 of petrol in the tank.
Photos of the damage (not great, they came off my phone) after the car arrived:
This was the front wheel:
Stripped the front end to swap the wings over and replace the bumper mount (which is plastic, it's designed to break in a knock):
Replacement wing on, bumper placed back on awaiting new bumper mount:
And yes, that is speaker wire stopping the bumper falling off! 
A trip to the Renault parts counter and £14 later, I returned with:
A pair of bumper mounts (you can only buy them in pairs, but at £9 for a pair it's hardly bad), and new nuts and bolts to bolt the bumper to them.
Bumper back on:
Then it started to piss it down, so back on went the speaker wire as I hadn't bolted the bumper back on.
The old wing:
And, with the bumper now bolted on, the car as it currently stands:
The brakes, suspension etc. seem fine but I'll get them fully checked before I MOT it.
Still to do:
- Swap the door over
- New wing mirror
- New spare wheel
- MOT
- VIC
- Another MOT
- Tax
- Get the door & Wing sprayed
