Gutted for you mate

Had the same thing happen to me a few years back in my 206 gti on loch lomond, managed to smash every panel on it its scary though. Thankfully you weren't hurt.

why dont you ask to buy it back and break it or get the repairs done yourself? you should give you a price if you ask.

Crikey, sounds like you had a rough going then! Car looks mint in your signiture, wouldn't mind owning one similar one day.

I don't know what the alloys are on the GTI but this one is going on ebay.

They wont let me buy it back already asked them, im going to see it this morning to get the rest of my things out of it and my tax disk and give them there 207 courtesy car back i will try and get a few pics on my camera phone

ive got a feeling they have written it off due to the fact my supposed to be mate was in the car with my has put a claim in against me for whiplash, my insurance offered him a payout and he accepted it . ive just got the gut instinct that because they have paid out on him the total bill now is well over what the car is worth so they thought what the heck

in the meantime can anyone recommend a car as a replacement with a budget of around 6000k
