I think that's the third accident with these circumstances on CS in a week! It's crazy how many times I've NEARLY done it!
Is it a genuine GSI? Get it repaired if so

Yes its a genuine gsi and i was gutted wen i got out and saw the damage to the corsa as i love driving it but i just dont have time to repair it and to be honest the car needs a full respray so its not really worth repairing so ile be breaking it next week and weighing the shell in

Understand why you'd break it, but it really wouldn't need much to fix it. Shame.

Sell it complete to someone who will repair it and keep it goimg. You know its the right thing to do. Genuine ones are getting hard to come by these days.

Good Lad, sorry to hear of the crash but glad you've decide to save it...
Repair wise doesnt look like to much trouble to correct and that slam pannel looks like its seen better days.

This sort of incident is rife now. I've had it happen to me twice in recent years. I think there's a bit of scamming going on out there.

It's not ruined.. It's just a car FFS.
People's obsession with gsi's and
Keeping them
Standard I'm suprised people aren't keeping the rot
Instead of changing to non original
Metal.
