Just to add: Thank god when I crashed it, it wasn't written off by the insurance company as by the end of it all the insurance company said total cost was £2300 to repair/labour etc.
I almost died to be blunt. Went into the back of a tractor which had a flat bed trailer on the back. The mini being so low in terms of ride height meant that the flatbed where you have the lights/huge metal(steel?) bar goes across the back (like on lorries and such). So that went into the car (wasn't doing a huge amount of speed when I hit it as I slammed on the brakes before hand but it simply wasn't enough.)
From what I can remember, the damage was like so:
Bonnet - dented, scraped, needed replacing basically.
Bulk head - not sure on the name for this but it needed replacing as well (not an easy job apparently) what I mean is the panel which has the wipers/washer on the car.
Windscreen - completely smashed in and need replacing as well as the surround.
Top dashboard - basically just black plastic top which when the glass go smashed sort of went **** up but luckily none of the wood/dials etc were damaged.
Wipers - couldn't source the same ones for some reason so gave me those chrome ones
Glass - was everywhere, all over me, seats, carpets...everything. Still finding bits in the carpet even over a year later.
