Well, this is how I got my car looking. A few personal mods to make the car my own, nothing fantastic due to budget, insurance and so on.
Mods included: 13" Sofstars (so I didn't have to change tyres, thanks FlameRedCorsa ), Depos, debadge grill with Irmy 'I', smoked side repeaters, dedbadged & Punto rear wiper.
Then this decided to happen and I was absolutely gutted.
Anyway, the insurance company decided to repair and it come back looking like this.
BUT, I didn't give up, pulled out my interest free credit card till August. And she is better than ever - mainly because I haven't put an Irmy 'I' on the grill.
Thoughts, opinions, 12v ridicule all welcome

Looks like they did a great job of repairing it Dean!
A few more pocket money mods wouldnt go amiss, delocked aka vectra passenger door handle etc just to make it look that wee bit tidier!

Trouble is, the passenger side door lock is in better condition than drivers.
The drivers side is all flimsy and loose, the passenger is nice and tight.
And more seriously - they did a great job of repairing it. The passenger side Depo (where all the damage was) hasn't gone in quite right, so it isn't 100% perfect.

Insurance renewal in September I need to see what I'm quoted etc before I do anything else. Really am on a budget now. Previously used all my savings left from birthdays etc, now I have nothing. Only a measly student loan which isn't enough as it is.
I would like to lower -40mm and back box to tidy up the rear end (i.e. get rid of pea shooter).
