Basically my sister was ill with a physical problem so I let her get insured on my corsa out of being generous, she crashed but claims she was just doing 30mph and hit a kurb but can't trust her so wondered if anyone has seen or had similar damage and if so from what kind of situation.
Front bumper also cracked in half
front right wing dented around the light and close to the door crease.

More like 70-80. No chance there would be that much damage from 30mph, even with a blow out at that speed it would take about 2 seconds to come to a dead stop.

whats the relevance between your sister being ill with a physical problem and getting insured on your corsa?

She broke her back and couldn't walk properly for a long time, so thought It would be nice if she could still get out and about, regret it now though as the corsa is totally trashed as she just abused the crap out of it and hasn't paid me a penny..

No way! I had failure in the rear hub at quite a considerable speed earlier this year. I had two heavily damaged tires but they were not anywhere near as bad as that!
The only time I have seen anything like that is when the spring snapped and sliced the sidewall of the tyre.
That damage is nothing I have seen before. What make was the tyre?

Ahh was it you who had the sister who broker her back abroad and insurance wouldn't pay for it so she was stranded?

you only have to look at police tv programs to see that when they sting the tyres of cars, the tyre still stays together for quite a bit before breaking up.
she's just been an idiot and tried to make it home.

Is that the one that they were drunk and didn't deserve the money or the one that tried after that?
