£3900!!
There trying to rip me off a treat! I should be really pissed off right now, going to go down there now and see exactly what that price includes, no doubt it will include a load of crap I dont even need.

Thats what im going down to find out, i was told it needed to be jigged on the phone, i said is there chassis damage? She said no, but the panels need to be pulled into place and aligned or something.

For £3900 you could get a good condition 106 GTi, or another Quicksilver.

French body panels are cheap as fuck anyway.
I got the exact same panel for my saxo vts, brand new for £25, bonnets were £80, then obviously you've got the internal bits and spraying

Thats the exact same cost my insurance paid out to fix my GSI, if ya car is highly modded argue the case that your car is worth more than book figures, or make the decision weather ya want a car thats had that much damage. I would personally walk away

This happen to my mates Williams 3 last month
Arnold Clark quoted £2900, so we had a look at the print out of bits.
Only rear damage was p/s arch, hub, bearing, trackrod and a few other bits like door scratched etc
Managed to get all the parts from renault - £450 and did it ourselves
Bar the door and arch painted the car is away for its test next week
