What a waste!

Hardly a waste, it will be repaired. I'm guessing that pic was taken outside the bodyshop fixing it. Even if it wasn't, it's just a Ford, nothing to cry about

Fairly easy repair for someone tho! is there a waiting list for these?

Schizo · 14 May 2009 at 18:15

f.o.r.d.

fix or repair daily.

Easy to repair ? the whole left side is gone, probably chassis damage as well.

Looks close if not a write off to my eyes, not sure the owner will be back in that anytime soon. If you have a quick car, not least a cheap quick car its odds determine its likely to get wrapped around something before long by someone.

Good riddance I say.

What's going on with that rear spoiler? Is that a Halfrauds add-on?

yes, well then replace the side panel. I doubt it's bent much if at all, if it is then jig it. It's a brand new 25k car, might cost 5k to repair but the insurer will sign off on it right away.

Surely thats a write off though? Looks like the whole left side is wrecked. And I know its only a ford, but its a £25k ford haha

I'd be surprised if that gets back on the road.

Mariusz · 14 May 2009 at 19:10

If it was your car would you want to get back in it, thats some serious damage

Single lens reflex.

Which, incidentally, has about as much relevance as your post.
It's been crashed.....of course it needs to be repaired as would any other make of car. :confused:

I'm writing that one down, that is definitely one of the better responses I've seen to fairly stupid acronym usage

My money would be on the car being written off.

It'd never feel the same again, even if the repair work was exceptional the 'magic' would be gone.

Impossible to say based on that pic, but if it is (and I don't know this to be fact by the way) worth over £20k then you can do an awful lot of work to it before deciding it's uneconomical ro repair.

It's a Focus RS, Ford addon, not Halfords!
