crashed the corsa this morning 
on the way to work my normal route is closed so i had to come the back lanes, wasnt speeding about 30-40max (60mph road) lots of s bends and being wet i took it slow, last s and the back end twitched out got it straight but i was on the verge and it pulled the car into a hedge narrowly missing a tree but hitting a main bit of hedge root, so front bumper is bust, drivers depo, possible wing, bit of wood under the bead of my tyre and my tracking is way out, its driveable but a bit sketchy, im thinking my suspension strut is bent but i cant check as the md made me move it off site

Ateast your ok thats what really matters. You can have the arches when you want, got a bumper I dont need too but its painted black and has some cracks where the paints started peeling
Glad your ok. Are the alloys ok?

doesnt look too bad, but you cant see whats happened underneath if anything, bit like mine when the bloke hit me looked minimal damage but cost a fortune cause all the damage was underneath (just to fil you with a bit of confidence there )
if you do decide to split it tho (which i DONT think you should do) you knw what i want
