not sure how true it is but i when i crashed ma last car (2001 fiesta) in 2006, i was told it would have been a write off had it been 3 months older as your not supposed to jig a car over 5 yrs old. how bad is damage cos I hit back of a range rover in corsa and pushed all front end back, couple of ratchet straps and a transit tow-bar sorted that out lol diy jig. :lol: oh yeah and some pry bars.

haha is right bet that saved u some money, the damage to the car isnt bad at all just a dent on the drivers side door but when we measured the frame its about 40mm out, every mecanic i have spoke to all say diffrent things some say that its very rare for corsas frames to be bent an its ritten off n overs say they will fix it for around £200 we did try bita diy wit a sledge hammer but couldnt bend it back :lol:
