There is unfortunately some buckling of the A post but we will see and I'm stubborn (I already have a guy at work after the engine, ecu and loom for his 205 :x ) My mechanics / body shop are very good and will do a thorough assessment...

It wasn't my fault

Nice Sunday afternoon in the sun on the Quay. Driving along at 20 when some tosser doing nearer 40 swerved around a parked car, crossed the centre line and got me. I travelled 3-4 metres before stopping he managed 10 or more :( The good thing is no one was hurt. It looks bad, it is bad, no drive, fr...

That all sounds simply ... I forgot to look on the BX club site !

Next question ... where do I get a sphere tool (I'm not allowed to play with sharp implements) as the cold chisel sounds extreme ?
