Damn this sucks! Hope it's just clam damage and not chassis damage!
PM me if you need some advice, I handle car insurance claims for a living so I may be able to help

The very stretch I gave you a pax down. Roundabouts and people moving into my lane put the fear of god into me. I'm forever hovering over the break pedal.Fingers crossed for a speedy ,and not too expensive, return to the road.Cheers Ciderbooze it was on the A174 3rd roundabout out of Saltburn. You'll know it well.

Looks like the crash structure is okay and the light might be okay too. All is not lost

Have to agree mate, he was utterly unaware I was on the roundabout and I was going very sensible speeds in heavy traffic. He just didn't look. I am very determined for this car not to be written off for good so would appreciate any help and advice on offer to get it back on the road. Obviously a lot depends on the insurance claim. Nervous wait now...

Don't let them recommend a body shop state which one you want to use. You may need to get a comparison quote from more than one company.
This will help with the car not getting written off.

Sorry to hear about this.
Can't offer any advice myself as this hasn't happened to me, but this has recently happened to zuber on here. He got an offer plus his car back to repair, he posted a thread on it. Might be worth a PM.
