gutted to hear this mate, so many crashes at the moment! mush be summit in the air!!!!

think u will have to go through insurance cos even if the audi needs 2 doors then thats gott be 1k+ i wud think cos audi parts are not gonna be cheep!!!

also your car is gonna need some tlc with the wheels not facing right way and all the bodywork!!!

least u are ok tho, impressed u are admitting fault most wud try and blag there way out of it!!!!! good to c someone honest about it! iaz

fully comp luckily. Just had a call from the guy, he's been to get a quote from Audi and its £1500!!!! Thats just for 2 new doors and a bit of cosmetic damage to front and rear bumpers, i knew Audi were expensive but that suprised me! So it looks like its gonna be an insurance job, hoepfully my car is repairable, on the way to the garage now and should findout later today!

Just heard from the garage and they reckon mine will need a new front end, total repair bill will be around £2000!! Not sure if it will be written off or not yet, but my best m8 is gonna go take some pictures after work, should have them up here this evening.

Gutted . Hopefully you'll be able to buy the car back off them as salvage though, and repair it yourself, use the parts on your next car, or sell them on to make the most of a bad situation .

How long you got left on your policy? Might be worth checking what insurance is gonna cost with a claim on the 2.0, if you decide to rebuild it or swap the engine over to another car.

prob not gonna be able to afford insurance on the XE, but if they agree to let us buy the car as salvage and pay out, im gonna get my 21st bday present early and use the £ to get a newer corsa with a small engine, then swap the engine over when im 21 in october. Hardly an ideal situation but we reckon its the best way to go about it. Looks like im gonna be missing show season this year

Pics arent that great cos my mate didnt know how to use the digicam, but i'll try to get some more soon. Doesnt look too bad from them, but garage have assessed the damage at £2000, new front end needed, steering, suspension etc. Will know tomorrow what the insurance people say.
